E. is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows Walter Gurney, the orphaned son of a missionary, as he navigates life in Afghanistan after his father's death. Struggling with his future and the loss of his parental figure, Walter finds himself drawn into an adventurous journey when he meets Dermot Denis, an Irish gentleman with a thirst for exploration and excitement. At the start of the narrative, Walter eagerly awaits news from England, anxious about the letter that will determine his future. The letter ultimately brings disappointing news from an uncaring uncle, leading Walter to ponder his isolation and uncertain circumstances. Soon after, he encounters Denis, who expresses his desire to venture into Afghanistan, where danger and adventure lie ahead. Their friendship quickly develops against the backdrop of the wilds, ultimately leading them into perilous situations, including capture by Afghan tribesmen and the looming threat of violence, which brings a stark contrast between Walter's calm assurance and Denis's reckless temperament.
