| Summary | "The Atlantic Monthly, Volume 14, No. 84, October, 1864" by Various is a literary magazine written in the mid-19th century. This publication features a variety of essays and stories, reflecting on themes of war, art, and personal experiences during a time of intense social and political upheaval in the United States, particularly the Civil War. The opening of the magazine begins with a vivid narrative titled "A Night in the Water," in which the protagonist recounts an exhilarating yet treacherous experience serving on a Southern island during the war. The account captures the protagonist's life amid the contrasting beauty of the landscape and the perils of military duty. As he embarks on a daring swim across a river to gather intelligence about enemy outposts, the narrative unfolds with sensory details of the night, the water's phosphorescence, and his reflections on the risks involved, including the looming threats from both nature and the enemy. Through this experience, the themes of adventure, uncertainty, and the longing for connection in wartime are poignantly illustrated. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
