Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Garden of Resurrection: Being the Love Story of an Ugly Man" by E. Temple Thurston is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a lonely, self-reflective man who grapples with his perception of ugliness and his longing for connection and love. This inner conflict plays out against the backdrop of various encounters with characters that prompt him to contemplate life, beauty, and the struggles of the human condition. At the start of the novel, the unnamed protagonist sits in a park, observing passersby, including an artisan with a narcissus flower and a nursemaid, whom he envies. Their moments of connection create a sense of longing within him that contrasts sharply with his own feelings of isolation and self-loathing. He reveals himself as an "ugly devil" who longs for the companionship that seems forever out of reach, particularly from women. The opening sets the stage for his exploration of relationships, love, and the significance of beauty in the human experience, suggesting a potentially transformative journey that hinges on his interactions with others, especially a character named Clarissa.
