| Summary | "Master of His Fate" by J. Maclaren Cobban is a novel written in the late 19th century. It explores the life of Julius Courtney, a well-regarded but enigmatic figure in London's artistic and scientific circles, who is both celebrated for his intellect and character yet seems to lead a life free from conventional responsibilities. At its core, the novel delves into themes of personal purpose, the interplay between life and art, and the complexities of human relationships. At the start of the story, we are introduced to Julius Courtney at the Hyacinth Club, where he engages in philosophical discussions with fellow members, discussing topics ranging from nature's beauty to the limits of scientific understanding. As the conversation flows, an alarming news report about a mysterious case in Paris captures their attention, hinting at deeper explorations into hypnosis and mental collapse. Julius expresses his reluctance to accept conventional views, hinting at a broader disdain for materialism and social expectations. As the narrative progresses, the dynamics shift when Lefevre, Julius's friend and a doctor, navigates the mysteries surrounding a series of unexplained incidents, including a young man found in a trance-like state and a woman who has similarly vanished into semi-consciousness, both connected by an elusive figure, M. Dolaro. This intertwining of characters sets the stage for unfolding drama and intrigue as the reader is invited to ponder the nature of identity, authority, and the hidden burdens of the past.
