Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Out of the Triangle: A Story of the Far East" by Mary E. Bamford is a historical novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story is set in ancient Alexandria and follows the emotional journey of its main character, Heraklas, a young boy grappling with the loss of his brother Timokles, who has been exiled for embracing Christianity against the Roman Emperor's edict. The narrative explores themes of faith, betrayal, and the collision of pagan and Christian beliefs in a tumultuous historical context. The opening portion of the novel introduces readers to Heraklas' distress as he mourns the absence of his brother, who has been unjustly accused and banished. As the young boy navigates the streets of Alexandria, he is painfully aware of the societal pressures surrounding him and the dangerous fate of Christians in his world. The narrative sets the tone with vivid descriptions of the oppressive heat and the challenges Heraklas faces as he learns of the violence directed against Christians, underscoring the significance of his brother’s faith amid their pagan upbringing. Through moments of introspection and desperate prayer, Heraklas is shown to be deeply affected by his brother's convictions, setting up the emotional stakes and the themes of familial bonds and spiritual struggle that will unfold throughout the story.
