| Summary | "Salaperäinen nainen" by Wilkie Collins is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Percy Fairbank, an English gentleman, and his wife Clotilde Delarge, as they navigate unexpected challenges during a visit to a friend’s estate in Somersetshire. The opening sets up a series of events that hint at mystery and intrigue as the couple's contentment is interrupted by peculiar circumstances. The beginning of the novel introduces us to Percy Fairbank, who finds himself in a foreign town with a crippled horse and a distressed wife while searching for assistance at a deserted inn. The couple has recently participated in a hunting trip but has lost their way. As they attempt to secure help, Percy encounters a strange and troubled man, who seems to harbor dark secrets revealed in unsettling dreams. The female character, Mrs. Fairbank, becomes increasingly intrigued by the man's plight, including the mention of a woman connected to his nightmares, setting the stage for a suspenseful exploration of love, danger, and mystery. This early portion effectively builds tension and engages the reader with hints of a deeper, darker story yet to unfold. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
