| Summary | "Nic Revel: A White Slave's Adventures in Alligator Land" by George Manville Fenn is a historical novel written in the mid-19th century. The story centers around Nic Revel, a young man from a landed estate in Devon, who becomes embroiled in a series of adventurous misfortunes beginning with a skirmish against poachers and leading to his press-ganging into naval service. After a significant turn of events, he finds himself sold into slavery in America, where he longs to return home and reunite with his friends. The opening of the narrative introduces Nic Revel as he navigates life on his family's estate, highlighting his father's fiery temperament and their mutual grievance against poachers. After a confrontation involving Nic and a naval press-gang misidentifying him, he is swept away into a world of hardship and uncertainty. The stage is set for his subsequent adventures in Alligator Land after being sold as a slave, hinting at themes of resilience and the quest for freedom amidst dire circumstances. The vivid depiction of early 19th-century life and the unfolding drama promises readers a tale of courage and survival. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
