Summary: "The Far Horizon" by Lucas Malet is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The book centers on Dominic Iglesias, a middle-aged gentleman reflecting on his life and circumstances as he watches the twilight fade over Trimmer's Green in suburban London. Through his introspection, the novel explores themes of identity, societal expectations, and the tug between personal ambition and familial obligations. At the start of the story, Dominic Iglesias finds himself in a moment of transition after spending decades working as a clerk at a banking firm. The narrative captures his feelings of restlessness and uncertainty after he is given a chance to retire. Instead of savoring newfound freedom, he grapples with feelings of worthlessness in a world that seems indifferent to his existence. As he contemplates his solitude and the absence of meaningful connections, we are introduced to his past and the weight of his family history. The opening sets a tone of melancholy and introspection while suggesting that the larger themes of class dynamics, personal fulfillment, and the nature of happiness will likely pervade the narrative as it unfolds.
