"La gueuse parfumée: Récits provençaux" by Paul Arène is a collection of stories written in the late 19th century.

The opening of the book introduces us to Jean-des-Figues, who recounts the circumstances of his birth, which took place under a fig tree while surrounded by the sounds of nature. His narrative offers a vivid description of his parents and their modest lifestyle. Quickly, we learn about the affectionate bond he shares with his father, who tries to teach him the ways of farming, as well as his youthful curiosity and whimsical nature. The initial chapters lay the groundwork for a reflective exploration of memory and the intricate relationships that shape one's identity in a picturesque, yet often harsh rural environment.
