Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Walladmor, Vol. 1 (of 2)" by Willibald Alexis is a historical novel written in the early 19th century. The narrative begins with a dramatic shipwreck event involving a young man named Bertram, who finds himself navigating the perils of the Welsh coast after surviving a maritime disaster. The story appears to explore themes of survival, human moral dilemmas, and the complexities of identity as Bertram encounters various characters and situations that challenge his ethical beliefs. The opening of the novel plunges the reader into a gripping scene as the vessel Halcyon is struck by calamity, leading to its explosion and the subsequent fight for survival in the turbulent sea. Bertram is thrust into a chaotic encounter with another drowning man, showcasing themes of desperation and the struggle for life. Rescued by fishermen, he soon finds himself in the care of an enigmatic old woman in a dilapidated hut, and his subsequent attempts to comprehend his predicament hint at a world full of danger and intrigue that stretches beyond his immediate circumstance. The backdrop of the Welsh coast is vividly evoked, hinting at a blend of natural beauty and lurking threats awaiting Bertram as the plot unfolds.
