"A Twentieth Century Idealist" by Henry Pettit is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The book explores the ideals and aspirations of its central character, Adele Cultus, alongside the philosophical musings of those around her, particularly the Doctor and Paul. Themes of spirituality, personal ambition, and the subtlety of human interactions are likely to feature prominently throughout the narrative. The opening portion introduces us to the characters of the Doctor and Paul as they engage in a thought-provoking conversation about ideals and personalities, specifically discussing the intriguing Adele Cultus. The Doctor reflects on his admiration for her sincerity and spiritual nature, while Paul appears more practical and focused on surface impressions. Their dialogue reveals complexities in their perspectives, setting the stage for the exploration of Adele’s character and her influence on those around her. Additionally, the Doctor's interest in palmistry hints at a deeper exploration of character traits and innate qualities, promising a nuanced examination of human behavior and relationships as the narrative unfolds.
