| Summary |
"Prince Zaleski" by M. P. Shiel is a work of fiction written during the late 19th century. The book features the enigmatic character of Prince Zaleski, a learned and introspective nobleman who engages in deep philosophical discussions and investigates mysteries surrounding human nature and societal issues. The story introduces a tangled narrative filled with intrigue, romance, and elements of the supernatural. At the start of the narrative, the narrator reflects on the fate of Prince Zaleski, a man tormented by love and ultimately living in exile. The opening sets the scene as the narrator arrives at Zaleski's desolate mansion, a place steeped in history and gloom. The initial focus is on a political scandal involving Lord Pharanx and his son, Randolph, which hints at murder and betrayal. As the narrator delves into this dark tale, the prince’s curiosity becomes piqued by the unfolding drama surrounding the death of Lord Pharanx and a mysterious woman named Maude Cibras. The opening chapter sets a tone of eerie foreboding and intellectual exploration, drawing the reader into a labyrinth of enigmatic characters and moral dilemmas.
