| Summary | "The Gilded Man: A Romance of the Andes" by Clifford Smyth is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story appears to involve themes of adventure, romance, and exploration, likely revolving around the legendary lost city of El Dorado and the mysteries of South American culture. Central characters include David Meudon, who is in love with Una Leighton, and their relationship hints at deeper personal struggles linked to the past and family dynamics. The opening of the novel introduces the characters David and Una, who share a tender yet anxious interaction as they contemplate the obstacles surrounding their upcoming marriage. David expresses doubts about his worthiness to marry Una due to shadows from his past, while Una reassures him of her love and commitment. However, there are complexities involving Una's uncle, Harold Leighton, who seems to harbor suspicions about David's past, further complicating their relationship. This tension sets the stage for a narrative filled with emotional depth and adventure, suggesting that both external and internal journeys will unfold as they delve into the implications of their choices against a backdrop of historical and romantic adventure.
