Summary: "Idolatry: A Romance" by Julian Hawthorne is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story appears to explore themes of destiny and identity, revolving around intriguing characters such as Doctor Hiero Glyphic and Balder Helwyse. As the narrative unfolds, it hints at the significance of the enchanted ring and the intersecting lives of its characters, suggesting a rich tapestry of romance and philosophical inquiry. At the start of the book, we are introduced to a hotel in Boston through a detailed description and whimsical narrative voice. The scene sets the stage for the intertwining lives of Doctor Hiero Glyphic and Balder Helwyse, whose fates are implied to hang on a seemingly trivial matter—their entries in a hotel register. The narrative quickly transitions into a dreamlike exploration of Doctor Glyphic's past, revealing his connection to the mystical diamond ring he wears. This magical ring serves as a central motif, operation as a talisman that links the characters' past and present, hinting at deeper themes regarding memory and the choices that shape one's destiny. As the reader is drawn into this romantic tale, they are invited to ponder the complexities of human connections and the longing for understanding across the bounds of time and circumstance.
