| Summary | "The Dictator" by Justin McCarthy is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around John Ericson, an exiled dictator from the South American Republic of Gloria, as he navigates his life in London after being deposed. The narrative promises to explore themes of ambition, power, and the complexities of political life through Ericson's experiences and interactions with various characters, hinting at the adventures and struggles he faces to regain his influence. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to Ericson waking in a hotel room in London, reflecting on his past glories and current circumstances as an exile. His internal musings reveal a longing to return to Gloria, where he once ruled, mixed with a sense of resignation regarding his present situation. As he prepares for the day, the narrative unfolds with the arrival of Hamilton, his companion, who reminds Ericson of his fallen status, highlighting the contrast between his former power and his current reality. The opening sets the stage for an exploration of political intrigue and personal relationships, leaving readers eager to discover how Ericson will navigate his path in this new world.
