| Summary | "Vine and Olive; Or, Young America in Spain and Portugal" by Oliver Optic is a fictional travel and adventure story written in the late 19th century. It focuses on the experiences of a group of academy students as they embark on a cruise through Spain and Portugal, exploring various cities and engaging in educational discussions with their professors and ship's surgeon. The narrative intertwines lessons on geography and history with the adventures of the young characters. At the start of the book, the academy squadron aboard the ship Tritonia is approaching Barcelona, genuinely excited to experience a new culture. The primary characters include Mr. Lowington, the principal, and his students, who are anticipating their time in Spain after a year of studying history and geography. The narrative hints at underlying tensions among some of the students, particularly Bill Stout and his friends, who are seeking excitement and may be planning mischievous activities, including a conspiracy that centers around their dissatisfaction with academy life. As the backdrop of travel adventure unfolds, the young men are drawn into the allure and complexities of the regions they aim to discover. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
