Summary "The American Prisoner" by Eden Phillpotts is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book explores themes of ambition, land ownership, and human relationships against the backdrop of Dartmoor's rugged landscape. At its center is Maurice Malherb, a determined man seeking to establish a farm, Fox Tor Farm, despite the struggles of the land and his complex interactions with the people around him. The opening of the novel introduces the desolate beauty of Dartmoor and establishes its atmosphere as a central character. Maurice Malherb is depicted as he contemplates the potential of the land while confronting the harsh realities of farming in such a challenging environment. Through his encounter with Lovey Lee, an old servant and a figure shrouded in mystery and suspicion, the narrative begins to unravel notions of trust, legacy, and the complexities of rural life. As he interacts with both the land and its inhabitants, the foundation for both personal and communal conflict is laid, suggesting that Malherb's journey will be fraught with challenges that extend beyond mere agriculture.
