Summary: "The Mission of Poubalov" by Frederick R. Burton is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around Ivan Strobel, who is poised to marry Clara Hilman, but his wedding day takes a mysterious turn when he goes missing after an unsettling encounter with a man named Alexander Poubalov, who represents a shadow from Ivan's past. As the narrative unfolds, Clara, along with Ivan's friends, grapples with their fears regarding Ivan's fate and the potential involvement of political enemies linked to his history as a Russian exile. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to Ivan on what should be a joyful wedding morning. The atmosphere quickly shifts as Mrs. White, his landlady, informs him of Poubalov's unexpected visit, prompting Ivan to reflect on his past and the potential implications of this encounter. Following a breakfast interrupted by Poubalov's entrance, Ivan remains cold and detached, but it becomes clear that Poubalov's interest in him is far from benign. The chapter concludes with a series of escalating events as Ivan's carriage breaks down on the way to the wedding, suggesting that something sinister may be afoot. Clara and her companions are left in despair, forced to confront the stark realities of Ivan's mysterious absence and the looming threat represented by Poubalov.
