Nesbit, Hume
The Empire Makers: A Romance of Adventure and War in South Africa
Produced by Nick Hodson of London, England
"The Empire Makers: A Romance of Adventure and War in South Africa" by Hume Nesbit is an adventure novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around three main characters—Ned Romer, Clarence Raybold, and Fred Weldon—who embark on a journey to South Africa. Their quest leads them into the heart of conflict between the British Empire and the Boer Republic, reflecting the historical tensions of the time. At the start of the narrative, a preface sets the historical context by expressing the complexities of imperialism in South Africa. The opening chapter introduces Ned Romer as a charismatic and athletic school captain who dreams of adventure. Alongside his friends, he faces personal challenges, including the recent death of Fred’s father, which propels them toward the uncertain future of becoming explorers. Soon, the trio decides to venture into Africa together, solidifying their camaraderie and ambition for adventure. As they prepare for their journey, themes of burgeoning responsibilities, friendship, and the moral implications of imperialism begin to emerge, setting the stage for what promises to be an epic adventure intertwined with historical commentary.
