Summary "The Clockwork Man" by E.V. Odle is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story begins with the perplexing arrival of a peculiar character—an apparent "clockwork man"—at a cricket match, who disrupts the game and leaves the players and spectators bewildered. The narrative introduces key characters like Doctor Allingham, who expresses annoyance at the figure's interference, and Arthur Withers, who is both amused and intrigued by the clockwork man’s odd behaviors. At the start of the book, the cricket match is interrupted when Doctor Allingham spots the strange figure mimicking a bowler's action, leading to his dismissal from the game. As players react to the ridiculous performance, Arthur begins to feel a sense of sympathy for this peculiar being, who is later confirmed to be some sort of automaton, although the details remain enigmatic. The Clockwork man’s bizarre way of moving and conversing raises questions about his origins and purpose, setting the stage for a blend of humor, curiosity, and philosophical musings on existence and identity that permeate the opening chapters.
