| Summary | "A Chariot of Fire" by Elizabeth Stuart Phelps is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around themes of desperation and compassion, recounting the harrowing journey of a father trying to reach his injured son. Set against the backdrop of a foggy night in a small town, it explores the intersection of social class and humanity in urgent circumstances. The narrative follows Jacob Dryver, a poor quarry-farmer, who learns that his young son, affectionately called Batty, is gravely injured. After a series of rejections at local stables, he frantically seeks help, ultimately arriving at the home of a well-to-do gentleman, Hurlburt Chester. Chester, moved by Dryver's plight, takes it upon himself to drive him in his automobile to Annisquam, where Batty awaits medical attention. Throughout their journey, the two men bond over their shared experiences as fathers, highlighting their differing social statuses while reinforcing a deep connection. In a twist of fate, the story culminates in the revelation of the accident's true cause, leaving both families forever changed by their encounters. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
