Outland by Mary Austin
QR code
"Outland" by Mary Austin is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a young woman named Mona who finds herself navigating the complexities of relationships and societal expectations, particularly in the context of her interactions with Herman, a professor, and the enigmatic Outliers, a group of woodland dwellers. As she grapples with her own desires and the allure of a life that is more connected to nature,
the narrative explores themes of freedom, love, and the artistry of life. The opening of the novel sets a tranquil yet introspective tone as Mona reflects on a visit to the woods with Herman, where their differing views on passion and marriage come to a head. As they journey through the forest, they stumble upon a trail that symbolizes deeper connections—both to the land and to the possibility of encountering the Outliers. Mona’s yearning for creative fulfillment and understanding contrasts sharply with Herman's pragmatic perspective. This tension foreshadows the adventures and discoveries that await her, including a fateful encounter with a mysterious man from the Outliers, which will alter her perception of herself and her relationship with Herman.
