Summary "Archibald Malmaison" by Julian Hawthorne is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story introduces us to Archibald Malmaison, the second son of a baronet, who exhibits peculiar and enigmatic traits throughout his early life. The narrative revolves around the extraordinary changes in his character and intellect, particularly after a mysterious "fit," leading to his reawakening and the exploration of his family's history intertwined with intriguing elements of magic and psychological depth. The opening portion of the book sets the stage for Archibald's bizarre existence, beginning with reflections on the nature of truth versus artistic storytelling. The narrative describes Archibald's unusual early development, marked by neglect and peculiar behaviors, as his family struggles to understand him. After a significant fit, he emerges with a newfound intelligence and consciousness, yet this transformation leads to deeper complications in his relationships, particularly with his family and the beautiful Kate Battledown. This early segment captures a sense of foreboding and curiosity, foreshadowing Archibald's journey of self-discovery and the magical elements tied to his family's lineage, all of which promise to unfold in the ensuing chapters.
