| Summary | "Real Gold: A Story of Adventure" by George Manville Fenn is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around two boys, Cyril Norton and Perry Campion, as they embark on an adventure in South America, exploring the rich and dangerous environment of the Andes. Themes of friendship, bravery, and the lure of treasure color their journey as they navigate their youthful desires against the backdrop of perilous mountains and the mysterious legacies of the Incas. At the start of the tale, we meet Cyril and Perry fishing half a mile offshore, engaging in playful banter about their surroundings and the nature of the fish. Their conversation reveals Cyril's longing for adventure, hinting that Perry's father, Colonel Campion, is about to embark on a journey to search for hidden treasures. The boys' camaraderie and excitement build as they fantasize about the mythical riches that might lie hidden in the mountains, including those said to have belonged to the Incas. As their chat unfolds, we sense a foreboding tension surrounding treasure-seeking in the dangerous territory guarded by hostile indigenous people, setting the stage for an adventurous and potentially perilous quest.
