Summary "My Young Master: A Novel" by Opie Percival Read is a historical fiction novel written in the late 19th century. The story is narrated by a slave named Dan, who reflects on his life as he recounts his relationship with his young white master, Bob, and the social dynamics of the pre-Civil War South. Central themes include the complexities of slavery, class differences, and the innocence of childhood against the backdrop of a deeply flawed social system. The opening of the novel introduces Dan, who begins to share memories from his childhood on a Kentucky plantation owned by the influential Guilford Gradley. As he navigates his existence as a slave, he describes key figures in his life, including his master, Old Master, and his playmate, Mars. Bob, who is gifted to Dan as a birthday present, becomes a central character in Dan's life. The narrative quickly develops into a contrast between carefree childhood play and the harsh realities of slavery, highlighting moments of innocence, conflict, and the struggle for identity as Dan grapples with his status as property and his bond with Bob amid the complicated familial and societal expectations surrounding them.
