Neither easy nor difficult to read. Produced by Suzanne Shell, Mary Meehan and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "The Centaur" by Algernon Blackwood is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Terence O'Malley, a complex and contemplative man grappling with his place in a modern world that he finds stifling and disconnected from nature. As the narrative unfolds, O'Malley's longing for both wilderness and authentic connection leads him to encounter a mysterious father and son on a ship, who evoke a deep sense of understanding and emotion within him. At the start of the book, the protagonist, O'Malley, observes the phenomenon of profound personalities that captivate interest and inspire curiosity in those around them. Upon encountering a large man and his son aboard a steamer heading for the Levant, O'Malley feels an instantaneous connection marked by a shared sense of unfamiliarity and a yearning for escape from modern civilization's constraints. This poignant opening delves into O'Malley’s introspection about the loneliness that exists in modern life and hints at a deeper, spiritual connection with the natural world, setting the stage for further exploration of identity, intuition, and the search for belonging throughout the novel.
