Summary "Escal-Vigor" by Georges Eekhoud is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Henry de Kehlmark, the young lord of the Escal-Vigor estate, as he returns to his ancestral home on the island of Smaragdis, where he engages with the local populace and navigates complex relationships and societal tensions. The narrative promises to explore themes of identity, heritage, and the clash between traditional norms and emerging desires. The opening of the novel sets the stage for Henry's grand return to Smaragdis, highlighting the historical significance of his family and the estate itself. Henry is portrayed as a delicate yet introspective young man who has overcome health challenges during his education abroad. As he hosts a vibrant gathering to commemorate his return, the narrative introduces various characters, including the ambitious Claudie Govaertz and the enigmatic Blandine, who plays a key role in Henry's life. This opening establishes a rich tapestry of local culture, tradition, and the interplay of class dynamics, foreshadowing the conflicts and relationships that will develop throughout the story.
