The story follows Ellery Norris, a young man navigating life in the burgeoning western city of St. Etienne, as he interacts with various characters who influence his perspective on love, ambition, and personal growth. The narrative explores themes of societal expectations and the juxtaposition of eastern mysticism with western pragmatism through characters like the enigmatic Swami Ram Juna and the charming socialite Madeline Elton. The opening of the novel sets the stage during a reception hosted by Mr. Early, where Ellery Norris and his friend Richard Percival observe the mystical Swami Ram Juna, who captivates the audience with his philosophical discourse on the nature of existence and spiritual truths. Throughout the reception, Ellery's thoughts fluctuate between the allure of the Swami's teachings and the social dynamics amongst the guests, particularly focusing on his fascination with a young woman named Madeline Elton. Through deftly woven dialogues and rich descriptions, the initial chapters introduce the characters and their respective aspirations and beliefs, establishing a foundation for the interpersonal relationships that will develop throughout the book.
