| Summary | "The Hippodrome" by Rachel Hayward is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative centers around Count Emile Poleski and a young woman named Arithelli, who has recently come to Barcelona to pursue a career in the performing arts at the Hippodrome, a circus venue. The novel explores themes of anarchism, personal ambition, and the search for identity against a backdrop of intrigue and societal upheaval. At the start of the tale, we are introduced to Count Poleski, who is involved in covert activities related to a cause he deeply believes in. While at the Barcelona station, he encounters Arithelli, a young equestrienne with striking and unusual beauty, who is struggling to find her footing in a foreign city. The two form an unlikely bond as she navigates her new career and life in a place rife with danger and uncertainty. As their interactions unfold, the tension between her ambitions and the sinister environment of political intrigue thickens, setting the stage for deeper explorations of loyalty, struggle, and personal sacrifice.
