| Summary | "His Hour" by Elinor Glyn is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers on the character Tamara, a young widow who embarks on a transformative journey of self-discovery while navigating her encounters with Prince Milaslávski in exotic Egypt and later Russia. The novel explores themes of individuality, passion, and the constraints of societal expectations as Tamara grapples with her desires and the conventional life she feels trapped in. The opening of the novel introduces Tamara as she contemplates the Sphinx in the early morning hours, reflecting on her life and the choices she has made thus far. Feeling isolated yet rebellious, she converses with the Sphinx, pondering the concept of living fully in the present rather than adhering to societal norms. This pivotal moment leads to her encounter with Prince Milaslávski, a captivating stranger who ignites her curiosity and stirs her emotions. As they ride together into the night, Tamara begins to question her previously unchallenged lifestyle, hinting at the deeper conflicts and romantic entanglements that will unfold throughout the narrative. This opening sets the stage for a compelling exploration of self-identity and forbidden desire. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
