| Summary | "The Coral Island" by R. M. Ballantyne is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The story follows Ralph Rover, a young boy with a thirst for adventure, as he embarks on a journey from his home in England to the South Seas. After a shipwreck, Ralph and his companions, Jack Martin and Peterkin Gay, find themselves castaways on a deserted coral island, where they are faced with the challenges of survival and the unknown. At the start of the novel, Ralph reflects on his adventurous spirit that has been nurtured since childhood. He recounts his life at sea, his love for exploration, and how he managed to convince his parents to allow him to set sail on an expedition. The opening chapters detail the stormy night of his birth on the Atlantic Ocean, his upbringing in a seafaring family, and the events leading to the shipwreck. As he recovers from the shipwreck with his friends, they begin to explore the island, ponder their fate, and marvel at the natural beauty surrounding them, all while hoping for rescue.
