"The Wood Beyond the World" by William Morris is a fantasy novel written during the late 19th century, exploring themes of love, desire, and adventure. The story centers around the main character, Golden Walter, a young merchant's son who, disillusioned by the betrayal of his wife, embarks on a journey to distant lands in search of solace, only to find himself entangled in a web of magic and strange beings. The opening of the novel introduces Walter living in the city of Langton, where he reflects on his troubled marriage to an unfaithful wife and longs for change. After a heartfelt conversation with his father, Walter decides to sail away on the ship Katherine, seeking new adventures. As he prepares to leave, he encounters mysterious figures—a dwarf, a fair maiden, and a radiant lady—that capture his intrigue and desire, hinting at the magical journey ahead. The narrative sets the stage for Walter’s transformation as he steers into uncharted territories, dealing with love and heartache against a backdrop of fantastical elements.
