| Summary | "Thelma" by Marie Corelli is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds in Norway, where the main character, Sir Philip Bruce-Errington, a baronet and seasoned yachtsman, unexpectedly encounters a beautiful girl named Thelma while gazing at the mesmerizing midnight sun. Their brief interaction ignites Philip's curiosity, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of Thelma's mysterious identity and the enchanting landscape around them. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to Philip as he enjoys the serene beauty of the Altenfjord at midnight, reflecting on life's mysteries and the allure of nature. The scene takes a captivating turn when he hears an ethereal song sung by an unseen girl, leading him to meet Thelma. Their exchange is marked by a delightful mix of intrigue and misunderstanding, culminating in her haughty dismissal after he attempts to assist her with her boat. Yet, Thelma's allure lingers in Philip's mind, prompting him to explore a nearby cave where he discovers a crypt bearing her name, hinting at a deeper connection to the past. Meanwhile, the narrative introduces other characters, such as the enigmatic dwarf Sigurd, and the gentlemen aboard Philip's yacht, hinting at the unfolding romantic and mystical elements essential to the plot.
