| Summary | "The Portal of Dreams" by Charles Neville Buck is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around the protagonist, Mr. Deprayne, a man struggling with his artistic aspirations and personal demons. After a warning from his doctor concerning the dangers of his over-sensitized nerves, he embarks on a journey through Europe, encountering a mysterious young woman who captures his fascination and seems to elude him at every turn. At the start of the narrative, the main character, Mr. Deprayne, is engaged in a conversation with his physician, who emphasizes the need for Deprayne to travel extensively to maintain his mental health. Despite an initial sense of reluctance, he books passage to the Mediterranean, where an elusive woman catches his attention. This intrigue develops as he navigates through various cities, yet his encounters with her remain fleeting and filled with unanswered questions. The opening chapters establish themes of desire, isolation, and the interplay between fate and personal agency, leaving readers eager to uncover how Deprayne’s quest for connection unfolds amidst the backdrop of travel and adventure.
