The story of La Chèvre de Monsieur Seguin (Monsieur Seguin’s goat) told by Alphonse Daudet to his friend Pierre Gringoire narrates an animal loving freedom and wide open spaces which prefers ignoring dangers than spending its life locked up. This goat, which he compares to his friend, deeply desire to gambol in the mountain with the risk of crossing the wolf who has already eaten all the other goats of Mr. Seguin.
In filigree, what this letter tells us is that in one day the goat will have more amazed and discovered more beautiful things than in its entire life before. Behind a moralizing statement, we can find in this account a highlight of wilderness treasures and praise for great spaces.
My intention was to enlighten the freedom sought by Blanquette the goat, in this mountain landscape described by A. Daudet.
