Summary: "L'abîme" by Charles Dickens and Wilkie Collins is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story delves into themes of identity, family, and mistaken relationships, with the central character, Walter Wilding, facing an unexpected revelation about his origins that turns his life upside down. The opening of the novel introduces readers to the somber backdrop of London's streets in the early 19th century, specifically the fate of abandoned children at an orphanage. A young woman, Sally, is approached by a veiled lady who reveals she is the mother of a child left in the care of the institution, asking for the child's name. The narrative switches to a later time, where Walter Wilding, a well-to-do young man, is handling the affairs of his deceased mother and expressing his longing for family connections. As he seeks a new housekeeper to help in his home, he discovers layers of intrigue and tragedy within his relationships, setting the stage for deeper explorations of his fate and connections. The opening sets a melancholic tone as it intertwines personal stories with societal issues, hinting at the complexities to come in Wilding's life. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
