"Bouvard und Pécuchet: Roman aus dem Nachlass" by Gustave Flaubert is a novel written in the late 19th century.

The opening of the novel sets the scene on a hot day in Paris, introducing the two main characters as they meet by chance at a park bench.

They engage in a conversation about their lives, their dissatisfaction with the city, and their desires for a simpler, more fulfilling existence. As they bond over personal reflections, their mutual yearning for change becomes apparent, and their decision to dine together marks the beginning of a deeper friendship that leads to their eventual pursuit of an idyllic rural life.
