| Summary |
"Dreamland" by Julie M. Lippmann is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book appears to explore themes of imagination, aspiration, and the pursuit of artistic expression through the experiences of its main character, Larry, a boy who yearns for inspiration and fulfillment beyond his impoverished circumstances. The opening of "Dreamland" introduces us to Larry, who is lying under a tree, lost in daydreams as he contemplates his longing for beauty and artistic vision. As he reflects on his feelings of neglect and regret, a mysterious voice speaks to him, urging him to pursue his dreams and aspirations instead of passively wishing for them. This encounter ignites in Larry a newfound sense of purpose, prompting him to take action and find work, which eventually awakens his artistic talent. The beginning sets the stage for a transformative journey as he navigates the challenges of life while striving to harness his creativity and make his dreams a reality.
