Summary: "The Bride of the Sun" by Gaston Leroux is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Dick Montgomery, a young engineer who arrives in Callao, Peru, with his uncle Francis, a scientist, as they prepare to explore the rich history and legends of the Incas. At the heart of the narrative is not only the journey into the mystical lands of Peru but also the budding romance between Dick and the dynamic Maria-Teresa, who manages her family's fertilizer business and navigates the socio-political complexities of her world. The opening of the novel introduces Dick Montgomery as he disembarks in a bustling Callao. He is eager to reunite with Maria-Teresa, a beautiful and intelligent young woman who has taken charge of her family's affairs following her mother's death. As they reconnect, the narrative sets the stage for unfolding tensions involving local Indians and the historical weight of Inca rituals, particularly around the upcoming Interaymi festival. As the story progresses, legends of human sacrifices intertwined with love and political strife surface, particularly with the mysterious appearance of the Golden Sun bracelet, which adds an element of intrigue and foreshadows the powerful historical themes lurking beneath the surface of their story.
