Two Parisian copy-clerks become friends and move to the French countryside after one inherits a fortune. They embark on an ambitious quest for knowledge, attempting to master nearly every field of study—from agriculture to philosophy. Each endeavor ends in failure, exposing the limitations of human understanding. Their intellectual misadventures strain relations with suspicious villagers, leading toward an unexpected conclusion about the pursuit of wisdom. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
