| Summary |
"Lord Lister No. 0375: Amor en Mercurius" by Matull, Blankensee, and Hageman is a fictional novel written in the early 20th century. The story appears to revolve around the world of art and personal relationships, following a young artist, José Darragos, who aspires to showcase his talent while navigating the complexities of social dynamics in London's art scene. Central to this narrative is Darragos, who faces both encouragement and the challenges posed by established figures in the art market as well as the wealthy patrons he encounters. The opening of the book introduces us to a bustling art shop owned by Mr. Jozua Drebbel, setting the stage for the interaction between Darragos and Lord William Aberdeen, a notable art enthusiast. We see Darragos attempt to present his paintings to Drebbel in hopes of gaining recognition, but he faces harsh critiques that reflect the art world's competitiveness. In tandem, the arrival of the flamboyant millionaire, Hannibal Jellybird, adds another layer of complexity, especially as Jellybird's charming daughter, Dolly, becomes an object of Darragos's affections. Their budding connection hints at themes of love and ambition amidst societal expectations, elevating the stakes for Darragos as he seeks his place in both the art world and Dolly’s heart.
