| Summary | "The Strange Adventures of Captain Dangerous, Vol. 2" by George Augustus Sala is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The book follows the life of Captain Dangerous, a character with a tumultuous history, who has been a soldier, sailor, merchant, and spy. Throughout the narrative, he faces various hardships as he navigates the challenges and societal injustices of his time. The opening of the novel sets the stage for Captain Dangerous as he recalls his experiences after being transported abroad due to his criminal activities. He describes the avaricious nature of Sir Basil Hopwood, a knight and alderman who exploits the convicts he is responsible for. The first chapter chronicles the hardships the captain and his fellow convicts endure, from brutal treatment in prison to the treachery of those who profit from their misfortune. As the narrative unfolds, we see Dangerous's resilience and adaptability amidst these trials, which foreshadows further adventures and challenges in his quest for freedom and a better life.
