| Summary | "Captain Dieppe" by Anthony Hope is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Captain Jean Dieppe, a charismatic man with a mysterious past, who finds himself in precarious circumstances after a failed political venture. As he navigates through various challenges, the narrative explores themes of love, loyalty, and intrigue, particularly involving the enigmatic Countess of Fieramondi. The opening of "Captain Dieppe" introduces the titular character as he faces a stormy evening, reflecting on his recent failures and the thrill of living dangerously in a foreign land. As he seeks shelter in a small village, Dieppe's spirits remain high despite his precarious situation. He encounters the Count of Fieramondi, who offers him hospitality, leading to a night filled with civilities and hints of deeper intrigues. The Captain learns of the Count's troubled marriage to the beautiful Countess, who remains a figure of interest. Dieppe becomes embroiled in the complexities of their relationship, setting the stage for a blend of romantic tension and espionage that promises to unfold in the chapters ahead.
