N2  - "The Isles of Sunset" by Arthur Christopher Benson is a fictional work written in the early 20th century. The story follows David, a hermit who escapes to a remote island after a troubled childhood and the loss of his family. Seeking solace and a deeper connection with God, he embarks on a spiritual journey, exploring themes of faith, solitude, and the human condition.  At the start of the narrative, David is introduced as a contemplative young man who has chosen a life of seclusion on the desolate Isles of Sunset. The opening describes his surroundings—a rugged, untouched landscape filled with wild life. David reflects on his past, the hardship he faced, and his dream of a divine call to serve. As he contemplates his decision to leave the world behind, he expresses a yearning for a deeper spiritual experience, setting the stage for his adventures and the challenges he will later encounter on the island. As David navigates his new life amidst solitude, he is also deeply aware of the pain present in the world he left behind. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
