"Plus fort que Sherlock Holmès" by Mark Twain is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story explores themes of love, betrayal, and vengeance against a backdrop that combines elements of romance and detective fiction. The main characters initially include a young couple, a wealthy bride and her husband of humble origins, who navigates a tumultuous relationship marked by the husband's cruelty and the bride's resilience, setting the stage for a darker quest for retribution later on. The opening of the novel introduces us to a young couple in Virginia, 1880, as they face immediate turmoil following their marriage. The husband, cruelly manipulative and obsessed with revenge against his new wife's father, subjects her to emotional torture. For three months, she endures humiliation while maintaining her pride. When the narrative shifts to 1886, the scene is set in New England, where the now-single mother of a gifted boy, Archy, grapples with the traumatic memory of her marriage. Recognizing Archy’s extraordinary abilities, she begins to formulate a plan for vengeance against her husband, who has gone into hiding. This compelling dynamic promises further exploration of the implications of vengeance and injustice as the story progresses. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
