| Summary | "WILD YOUTH" by Gilbert Parker is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The narrative unfolds in the town of Askatoon, where the arrival of Mr. and Mrs. Joel Mazarine disrupts the established social order, particularly through the story of Louise Mazarine, a young woman trapped in an oppressive marriage to her much older husband. The book explores themes of youthful vitality, personal freedom, and the stark contrast between innocence and a morally corrupt society. At the start of "WILD YOUTH," the town of Askatoon is introduced, characterized by its distinct personalities, from the astute Young Doctor to the casual townsfolk. The sudden arrival of the Mazarines resonates disturbingly with the townspeople—the elder Mazarine is an imposing, repugnant figure contrasted sharply with his young wife, Louise, who appears bewildered by her situation. As the townsfolk scrutinize the couple, the Young Doctor becomes particularly intrigued by Louise and her potential for escape from her oppressive marriage. Their meeting hints at a deeper, unspoken connection, setting up a narrative filled with tension and emotional complexity as the story progresses. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
