Carnac's Folly, Complete
Produced by David Widger
"Carnac's Folly, Complete" by Gilbert Parker is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story follows Carnac Grier, the son of a prominent lumber king in Canada, as he navigates his relationships, ambitions, and a complicated life shaped by his upbringing. Central characters include the impulsive and artistic Carnac, his adventurous friend Junia, and the wise Denzil, who provides a contrasting perspective on life. The opening of the novel presents a nostalgic view of Carnac's childhood, filled with innocence and playful adventure alongside Junia. As the story unfolds, it hints at deeper themes of growth, identity, and the conflict between familial expectations and personal aspirations. We see Carnac as a young boy, engaged in youthful antics in the woods, while also observing the beginnings of his complex relationship with both his father and Junia. The narrative introduces the foundational themes of self-discovery and the quest for purpose which will resonate throughout Carnac's journey as he matures and faces the realities of adulthood.
