"Etsivä Samuel" by Upton Sinclair is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Samuel Prescott, a young man who embarks on a journey of self-discovery and struggle in a rapidly changing society. Through the character of Samuel, Sinclair explores themes of faith, idealism, and the harsh realities of life faced by the poor and working class. The opening of the novel introduces Samuel as he grows up under the care of his father, Efraim Prescott, who instills in him a sense of adventure and the importance of seeking truth in life. Samuel's upbringing is marked by loss and adversity, particularly the death of his mother and the struggles faced by their family. As he reaches seventeen, the family faces a devastating financial setback due to a manipulative investment scheme, resulting in the loss of their savings. With his father’s tragic passing shortly after, Samuel resolves to leave home, seek work in the city, and carve out a new path for himself. The narrative sets the tone for his imminent challenges as he navigates the complexities of urban life, including job hunting and the societal expectations placed upon him.
