Volume I (of II) Produced by David Widger "The Daltons; Or, Three Roads In Life. Volume I (of II)" by Charles James Lever is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds in a mixture of humorous and poignant character interactions, revolving around the lives of three men—Albert Jekyl, Colonel Haggerstone, and Peter Dalton—who find themselves at a desolate Baden-Baden during the off-season. The narrative hints at social commentary and explores themes of identity, family pride, and fortune, setting the stage for deeper connections and conflicts among the characters. The opening of the novel paints a vivid picture of the somber atmosphere of Baden-Baden as it transitions from its former vibrant self to a ghost town during winter. The three main characters, each reflective of different societal classes and dispositions, engage in conversation, revealing their backgrounds and perspectives on life's misfortunes. As they commiserate in the empty hotel, the reader glimpses the contrasts in their lives—from Dalton's affable demeanor coping with past grievances, to Jekyl's apparent superficiality, and Haggerstone's caustic military nature. Together, they symbolize the varied paths life can take, suggesting that the choices one makes ultimately shape one's identity and destiny.
