| Summary | "Daughters of Men" by Hannah Lynch is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds in Athens, revolving around the social lives of various characters, highlighting the complexities of their relationships and the tensions between different cultures and classes. Central to the narrative appears to be the character Rudolph Ehrenstein, a young, aristocratic man who is navigating his emotions and ideals through the vibrant yet turbulent society surrounding him. The opening of the novel introduces a bustling social gathering at the Austrian embassy in Athens, where a celebrated pianist, Mademoiselle Photini Natzelhuber, is expected to perform. The scene is filled with high-ranking dignitaries and a mix of guests, showcasing the elite social atmosphere. Among them, Rudolph stands out as an anxious outsider, overwhelmed by the glamour and unfamiliarity of the gathering. His admiration for Natzelhuber quickly turns into disappointment as he witnesses her behavior, which contradicts his idealization of her artistry, leading him to question his perceptions and feelings about her. This initial setup lays the groundwork for exploring themes of admiration, disillusionment, and the challenges of young love within a richly depicted cultural setting.
