| Summary | "Name and Fame: A Novel" by Adeline Sergeant is a literary work written in the late 19th century. The novel opens with the story of Alan and Cora Walcott, who are vacationing in Aix-les-Bains. Their tumultuous marriage is at the forefront, marked by jealousy and resentment, and foreshadows conflicts that will arise throughout their relationship. The opening of the book paints a vivid picture of a lively summer day in Aix-les-Bains, with an assortment of people enjoying the atmosphere, yet contrasts this with the discontent of Alan and Cora Walcott. As the couple walks through the hotel garden in uneasy silence, observers note the tension in their body language. Cora, despite her alluring appearance, has a fiery temper that creates strife in her marriage. The situation escalates dramatically when Alan is challenged by a Frenchman, leading to a duel, while Cora exhibits signs of hysteria, adding further complexity to their already problematic relationship. This gripping introduction sets the stage for the ensuing emotional battles and moral dilemmas that the characters will face. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
