"Ernest Maltravers" by Edward Bulwer Lytton is a novel written in the mid-19th century, exploring themes of character development and moral philosophy. The story unfolds around the lives of several characters, particularly Ernest Maltravers, who engages in a journey of personal and intellectual growth amidst the struggles of social class and human relationships. The beginning of the novel introduces a desolate common near a manufacturing town, setting the tone for examining societal decay and individual circumstance. It features two main characters: a rugged, morally ambiguous father and his daughter, Alice, who is young, beautiful, and portrayed with a mix of innocence and emotional vulnerability. As the father harbors darker intentions, a stranger enters their humble abode, setting the stage for conflict and potential peril. The narrative hints at themes of danger, the harshness of life, and the complexities of human interactions, particularly through Alice's naive desire for a life away from her father's oppressive grasp. This opening establishes a gripping atmosphere that suggests deep character explorations and trials ahead. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
Reading ease score: 68.8 (8th & 9th grade). Neither easy nor difficult to read.
