| Summary |
"Doktor Nikola" by Guy Boothby is a novel written in the late 19th century. It introduces readers to the enigmatic character Dr. Nikola, who seems to possess uncanny knowledge and mysterious abilities, drawing the attention of Wilfred Bruce, a man seeking employment in Shanghai. The story is likely to explore themes of adventure, secrecy, and the supernatural as Bruce navigates the complex and dangerous world associated with Nikola. At the start of the novel, we meet Wilfred Bruce, who is struggling financially after an unsuccessful stint in Shanghai. He encounters Dr. Nikola at a horse race, where he learns of Nikola's potential to help him secure a lucrative job. Bruce, intrigued yet cautious about Nikola's reputation, decides to visit him after receiving an invitation. The opening chapters set the stage for Bruce's internal conflict as he weighs his options between pursuing an ordinary job or accepting a mysterious and potentially perilous adventure alongside Nikola, whose character is shrouded in mystery and speculation.
