(Robert Smythe) In the Wilderness Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_the_Wilderness_(Robert_Hichens_novel) Produced by Dagny; John Bickers; David Widger "In the Wilderness" by Robert Hichens is a novel set in the late 19th century. The story begins in Milan and introduces several characters, primarily focusing on the experiences of Dion Leith, a young Englishman returning from travels in Greece and Constantinople. As he navigates a blurry world of new encounters and self-discovery, themes of love, solitude, and the contrasts between cultural experiences unfold through his interactions, particularly with Rosamund Everard, a woman of profound thoughts and aspirations. At the start of the novel, the hall porter, Amedeo Dorini, awaits travelers at the Hotel Cavour, demonstrating his insight into human nature as he assesses incoming guests' potential for generosity. Dion emerges from the omnibus, feeling invigorated by recent travels, especially his deep affection for Greece, which stands in stark contrast to his disdain for Constantinople. His character is portrayed as youthful and optimistic, embodying a sense of joyous discovery. Meanwhile, the narrative introduces Rosamund, who seeks solitude and grapples with her own aspirations between personal independence and societal expectations. Their stories suggest a profound exploration of the delicate balances in life—between companionship and solitude, aspiration and reality—foreshadowing the intricate interplay of relationships that will shape their journeys.
