  • Résumé

  • This text comes from Gilbert K. Chesterton's short story "The Trees of Pride". The story is about a mysterious illness that has been plaguing a small village in Cornwall, and the people believe it is caused by the "peacock trees", exotic trees that were brought to the area by a past lord of the manor. A visiting American critic and a local lawyer become entangled in the mystery as they try to uncover the truth behind the illness, the trees, and the sudden disappearance of the current Squire. The story is a blend of gothic elements, satire, and social commentary, exploring themes of superstition, reason, and the clash between the old and the new.
