| Summary | "Pelham — Volume 02" by Baron Edward Bulwer Lytton is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The story follows the protagonist, Henry Pelham, as he navigates the complex social scenes of Paris, exploring themes of passion, gambling, and the intricacies of human relationships. Notably, Pelham encounters various characters that reflect the diverse spectrum of society, including the enigmatic Mr. Thornton and the charming yet troubled Duchesse de Perpignan. The opening of the novel introduces us to Pelham's experience at the gambling houses in the Palais Royal, where he observes intense interactions between players and spectators. Key characters emerge, such as a dark and sinister Englishman and the anxious gambler named Thornton. Their contrasting dispositions suggest the tension and stakes at play in this world of chance. Pelham's curiosity deepens as he becomes intrigued by the interactions he witnesses, particularly those involving a mysterious stranger, leading to a broader exploration of desire and ambition as he mingles with Parisian society, ultimately foreshadowing future encounters that challenge his character and ethics.
