Summary "The Inner House" by Walter Besant is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story opens in a world shaped by scientific advancements that allow humanity to escape the inevitability of aging and death. Within this context, the main character, a professor named Dr. Schwarzbaum, prepares to reveal a groundbreaking discovery: a means for humans to prolong their vitality indefinitely. The narrative explores themes of science, societal structure, and the human experience as characters confront the implications of a life without natural limits. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to an eager audience at the Royal Institution, anxiously awaiting the professor's revelation about a new discovery that could drastically alter existence. The atmosphere is charged with speculation about how this discovery might change human society, whether that be through instantaneous transportation, artificial food, or an explosive new weapon. The professor ultimately unveils an astonishing ability to prolong life indefinitely, sparking a range of emotional responses among the audience—from awe to existential dread. As the scene unfolds, it sets the stage for a deeper exploration of this new world, primarily focusing on how such a gift of extended life can impact relationships, societal structures, and individual desires.
