Par une chaude journée d’été, à Paris, deux hommes, Bouvard et Pécuchet, se rencontrent et font connaissance. Ils découvrent que, non seulement ils exercent le même métier de copiste, mais qu’en plus ils ont les mêmes centres d’intérêts. S’ils le pouvaient, ils aimeraient vivre à la campagne. Un héritage fort opportun va leur permettre de changer de vie. Ils reprennent une ferme dans le Calvados, non loin de Caen et se lancent dans l’agriculture (agronomie, arboriculture, jardinage, conserverie, distillerie). Leur incapacité à comprendre va n’engendrer que des désastres. De la même manière, ils vont s’intéresser, dans l’ordre, aux sciences (chimie, anatomie, physiologie, médecine, nutrition, astronomie, zoologie, géologie), à l’archéologie (architecture, muséologie, religion celtique, antiquités, histoire, biographie), à la littérature (roman historique, théâtre, critique littéraire, grammaire, esthétique), à la politique, à l’amour, à la philosophie (gymnastique, spiritisme, magnétisme, logique), à la religion, à l’éducation (phrénologie, dessin, histoire naturelle, morale, musique, urbanisme) avec les mêmes résultats. Lassés de tant d’échecs, ils retournent à leur métier de copiste.
