| Summary | "Denis Dent: A Novel" by E. W. Hornung is a work of fiction written in the early 20th century. The story follows the life and adventures of Denis Dent, a second officer on a ship navigating treacherous waters, as he grapples with love, loss, and ambition. The book opens with a maritime disaster that sets the stage for Denis's struggles and personal growth, especially in relation to his love for Nan Merridew, a young woman whose life he saves during the wreck. The beginning of the novel introduces the dire circumstances on the ship "North Foreland" shortly before it meets its tragic fate. Amidst the chaos, we learn about Denis Dent's background—his Irish heritage and humble beginnings—and his aspirations of becoming more than just a sailor. As the ship's crew faces disaster, Denis shows remarkable courage, ultimately rescuing Nan from the sea. The opening scenes keenly set a dramatic tone, showcasing themes of bravery, class differences, and the complexities of romantic relationships that will unfold as the story progresses.
