Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Right of Way — Volume 02" by Gilbert Parker is a novel likely written in the early 20th century, focusing on themes of redemption and identity. The narrative centers around Charley Steele, who, after a traumatic incident, loses his memory and is cared for by the enigmatic Jo Portugais. As Charley slowly acclimatizes to his new life, he grapples with his past and the repercussions of who he was before his accident. The opening of the novel introduces Jo Portugais, a river driver who defies tradition by navigating the river at night. He inadvertently becomes involved in an incident where he rescues Charley Steele, who is discovered unconscious in the river after a violent confrontation. Jo brings Charley to his remote home on Vadrome Mountain, where he tends to Charley’s injuries. As Charley regains consciousness, he struggles with amnesia, unaware of the life he left behind. Jo experiences a mix of concern and a sense of obligation towards Charley, highlighting themes of compassion and the complexities of personal history. This initial setup not only sets the stage for character development but also hints at the exploration of moral dilemmas as Charley confronts the ghost of his past.
