Summary "The Pools of Silence" by H. de Vere Stacpoole is a novel written in the early 20th century. It follows the character Dr. Paul Quincy Adams, an American physician attending post-graduate lectures in Paris, whose life takes an adventurous turn when he is offered a medical position on a big-game hunting expedition to the Congo by the enigmatic Captain Berselius. The narrative likely explores themes of adventure, morality, and the contrast between civilization and the wild, as Adams confronts the complexities of human nature and the inherent dangers of the jungle. The opening of this novel sets a vivid stage in Paris, where the sun sets in dramatic hues, reflecting the chill of a winter’s day. Dr. Adams, a tall and strong figure, arrives at a lecture by Dr. Thénard, a neurologist with an impressive reputation. As the lecture unfolds, Dr. Adams's life is transformed by a chance encounter with Captain Berselius, who seeks a medical companion for his expedition. After some hesitation about the roughness of the task ahead, Adams is drawn into the intrigue of the Congo adventure and the character of Berselius, who exudes an unsettling charm but poses risks that others are wary of. This initial setup establishes both a sense of impending adventure and the moral complexities that await in the wild, engaging the reader to delve further into Adams's journey.
