Description

The Martian, by George du Maurier, is a largely autobiographical novel published in 1898 and the author's third.

It describes the life of Barty Josselin as told by his close friend Robert Maurice, starting from their school days in Paris in the 1850s.

Barty Josselin and Robert Maurice are English boys attending the Institution F.

Brossard, in Paris. Barty is "a handsome, high-spirited, mischievous, and gifted fellow, thoroughly practical, yet with traits that have in them a strange idealism." After finishing school, they return to England, where Barty spends some time in the army, but resigns.

His vision fails, and he travels seeking help with it, becoming suicidal.

He learns in a dream that he has a kind of guardian spirit Martia, a female spirit from Mars, who communicates with him and offers him guidance.

She inspires him to a successful career as an author.
