| Summary | "The Bride of Dreams" by Frederik van Eeden is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The narrative follows the introspective journey of Muralto, an elderly man reflecting upon his life experiences, particularly focusing on themes of love, desire, and the nature of truth as perceived through memory and desire. The story intricately weaves his childhood memories, familial conflicts, and evolving understanding of womanhood and romance, all set against a backdrop of societal expectations and personal struggles. At the start of the novel, Muralto describes his quaint coastal town, once vibrant and full of life, but now a faded relic of its former glory, mirroring his own introspection about life and identity. He reveals his backstory as the son of Italian aristocrats, contrasting the grandeur of his youth with the struggles he faces in his current life. As he recounts formative moments, including his relationship with his parents and first experiences of romantic longing—particularly for a girl named Emmy Tenders—the narrative delves into the complexities of love and desire. The opening portrays Muralto's deep analytical thoughts and confrontations with societal and personal dualities, setting the stage for a rich exploration of human emotions and existential inquiries.
