Snaith is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book revolves around a boy named Achilles, who, despite his frail appearance and a significant physical blemish, is curious about the complex world around him. He resides with his white-haired father in a small bookshop, where they engage in deep discussions about literature and life, while Achilles grapples with the reality of growing up and venturing into the outside world. The opening of the novel sets a moody and atmospheric scene, depicting a rainy night in London as it introduces the intimate world of Achilles and his father in their bookshop. They explore the concept of "drama," which confuses the young boy, and hint at Achilles's desire to understand the complexities of life. From the moment Achilles expresses his determination to leave the sanctuary of his home for school, the narrative depicts his internal struggles and fears about facing the outside world, culminating in significant experiences of personal growth and societal interaction. The beginning effectively establishes an emotional foundation for Achilles's character, illustrating his unique perspective on life and knowledge.
