| Summary | "Quisanté" by Anthony Hope is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around Alexander Quisanté, a complex and ambitious young man navigating the socio-political landscape of his time, as well as his relationships with others, including his aunt Maria and the seemingly prominent but distant Benyon brothers. The novel explores themes of self-interest, ambition, and the pursuit of social elevation against a backdrop of societal expectations and personal aspirations. The opening of "Quisanté" introduces us to a tense conversation between Sandro Quisanté and his aunt, Miss Quisanté. As they discuss money and strategy for Sandro's future, it becomes clear that their relationship is strained yet functional, marked by a lack of affection but an understanding of mutual dependence. Sandro seeks to rise in social and political circles and considers marriage as a means to secure status. Meanwhile, the narrative hints at his outsider status, emphasizing the judgments and prejudices he faces from society. This sets the stage for Sandro's character development and the unfolding drama of his ambitions, as well as interactions with other characters like Lady Richard and May Gaston, which will likely further complicate his aspirations.
