"Tengerkisasszony: Vázlat, holdfényben" by H. G. Wells is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the mysterious appearance of a mermaid on the Folkestone coastline, witnessed by the Bunting family and their guests, particularly the two Glendower sisters. Themes of skepticism, social class, and the fantastical nature of legends emerge as the characters navigate the implications of this enigmatic encounter. At the start of the novel, the narrative introduces a sense of disbelief surrounding the existence of mermaids, embodied by a character reflecting on previous skepticism regarding tales of such creatures. However, a sudden series of events culminates when the Bunting family's day at the beach takes a dramatic turn with the sighting of the mermaid, who appears to be struggling in the water. As the Bunting family rushes to rescue her, confusion and excitement ensue. Ultimately, the mermaid's emergence prompts various reactions from the family and questions about her true nature, setting the stage for the unfolding story that intertwines the extraordinary with everyday life.
