James is a historical novel written in the mid-19th century. The narrative centers around the themes of identity, class struggle, and the mysteries of the gipsy culture, delving into the lives of both the gipsies and the upper-class characters that interact with them. The story opens with two travelers, Colonel Manners and Edward de Vaux, who ride through an English forest, encountering a gipsy encampment, which sets the stage for a deeper exploration of their lives and connections. At the start of the tale, the two horsemen journey through a picturesque English landscape, engaging in conversations about the gipsies and the nature of society. They observe a gipsy camp where a young girl offers to tell their fortunes, a moment that hints at the mystical elements intertwined with the characters' destinies. Colonel Manners reflects on his own personal history after being orphaned, while De Vaux struggles with feelings of isolation despite being well-liked. The chapter introduces Pharold, an elder gipsy with his own complex narrative, seeking to elude dangers lurking in the shadows as he interacts with his fellows. The interplay between the lives of the gipsies and the travelers hints at a fateful connection that will unfold as the story progresses.
