'Fraternity' Summary
The novel centers around three characters: Fleur, a young woman from a wealthy family, who becomes involved in a passionate love triangle with two men. One, Michael Mont, is a charming and sophisticated artist, while the other, George, is a more grounded and practical man. The narrative is further complicated by the introduction of a mystical tract written by an unknown author. This tract, filled with cryptic and enigmatic pronouncements, becomes a source of fascination and obsession for Fleur and Michael. As Fleur becomes increasingly drawn to the mystical allure of the tract, she finds herself questioning her life and the superficiality of her social circle. Meanwhile, Michael, influenced by the tract's messages of spiritual liberation, begins to withdraw from the world, seeking solace and enlightenment in his artistic endeavors. The narrative culminates in a clash of ideals and desires as Fleur grapples with her conflicting affections for Michael and George. Galsworthy's masterful exploration of the complexities of human relationships and the contradictions of social class makes *Fraternity* a compelling and thought-provoking novel that continues to resonate with readers today.Book Details
