Author Blackwood, Algernon, 1869-1951
Title The Wave: An Egyptian Aftermath
Credits Produced by Lionel Sear
Summary "The Wave: An Egyptian Aftermath" by Algernon Blackwood is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a young boy named Tommy, who is haunted throughout his childhood by a recurring nightmare involving a massive wave that never crashes, leaving him in a state of anxiety and curiosity. As Tommy grows, the wave becomes symbolic of his deeper emotional experiences, touching on themes of love, pain, and the inevitability of facing one's fears. The opening of this book introduces readers to Tommy's childhood nightmare, which involves a menacing wave that rises but never falls, symbolizing his internal struggles and premonitions. Initially, this wave is associated with dread and curiosity, but it evolves as Tommy encounters life experiences and emotions, including love and longing for a girl named Lettice Aylmer. As he grows older, the dream and its accompanying sensations—faint scents and the appearance of eyes—continue to resonate within him, reflecting his search for understanding and meaning in life. The narrative sets the stage for Tommy's journey of self-discovery, highlighting the interconnections between dreams, memories, and personal growth. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
