Summary "For Name and Fame; Or, Through Afghan Passes" by G. A. Henty is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative follows the protagonist, William Gale, who embarks on a series of adventures during the tumultuous period of the last Afghan War, experiencing battles and treachery while exploring themes relevant to British colonial endeavors. Readers can expect a blend of vivid action, character development, and an exploration of the dynamics between the British Empire and Afghanistan. The opening portion introduces the protagonist, Captain Ripon, who is preoccupied with the recent theft of his wife's beloved prize fowls. Seeking justice, he sets out with policemen to confront the suspected gypsies and restore order. Following dogged detective work, Captain Ripon identifies the thief through evidence and a distinctive boot mark, showcasing his commitment to duty over personal safety. This incident not only establishes the character's resolve but also sets the stage for unfolding events as the narrative hints at darker consequences stemming from a gypsy woman's threats, culminating in the kidnapping of Ripon's young son, Tom, which dramatically pulls the reader into the ensuing conflict.
