| Summary | "Cleg Kelly, Arab of the City: His Progress and Adventures" by S. R. Crockett is a novel written in the late 19th century. The book chronicles the life and misadventures of an eleven-year-old boy named Cleg Kelly, a mischievous and defiant youth who becomes an outcast after rejecting the religious teachings at his local Sunday school. The story sets the stage for Cleg's journey through the streets of Edinburgh, exploring themes of childhood, rebellion, and survival in a harsh urban environment. The opening of the novel introduces Cleg Kelly's character and his expulsion from the Hunker Court mission school. During an exasperating encounter with the superintendent, Cleg brazenly declares, “It's all a dumb lie—God's dead!” This bold statement leads to his being expelled, marking the beginning of his outsider status. As he leaves the school, Cleg demonstrates a blend of bravado and vulnerability, indicating his tumultuous home life filled with neglect and abuse. The narrative quickly delves into Cleg's adventures, highlighting his resourcefulness and unruly spirit as he navigates the streets and contemplates adopting a life of crime. The reader is left anticipating how these early missteps will shape his future adventures and character growth throughout the story. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
