| Summary |
"雲形紋章" by John Meade Falkner is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set in the quaint coastal town of Caran, where the main character, the architect Westley, arrives to oversee the restoration of the magnificent Caran Cathedral. The narrative delves into themes of heritage, societal change, and the personal challenges faced by the inhabitants of the town. At the start of the book, we are introduced to the bustling atmosphere of Caran, marked by the fading glory of its once-thriving port. The prologue establishes the character of Sir George Farquhar, an esteemed member of the community who emphasizes the importance of the restoration project. As Westley arrives in Caran amidst heavy rain, he is greeted by the eerie beauty of the cathedral and soon meets various townsfolk, including the pompous rector and the local organist, Mr. Sharnoll. The opening hints at underlying tensions regarding the town's history and the enigmatic "clouded" emblem connected to the noble Brindemore family, establishing a sense of mystery and intrigue that is bound to unfold as the story progresses.
