"Beside Still Waters" by Arthur Christopher Benson is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book follows the life of Hugh Neville as he reflects on his childhood, relationships, and personal growth, interspersing his experiences with meditative contemplation and philosophical musings about life and existence. The opening of the novel introduces Hugh Neville, who frequently engages in reminiscences about his childhood and family. He describes the contrasting natures of his parents—his father's sternness shaped by a difficult upbringing, and his mother's nurturing demeanor coming from a background of wealth. Through vivid recollections, Hugh reflects on the idyllic scenes of his early years spent in nature, his sensory experiences, and the formative impact of books and his family's religious life. Despite the comfort of his environment, he shares a sense of detachment regarding relationships, emphasizing his early emotional turmoil and loneliness, ultimately setting the stage for his journey of self-discovery and exploration of deeper life questions.
