| Summary | "The Little Savage" by Captain Marryat is a novel written during the early 19th century. The book tells the story of Frank Henniker, a boy who finds himself on a deserted island, growing up in the company of a brutal man named Jackson, who has a dark past. The narrative explores themes of survival, human nature, and the struggle from savagery to civilization as young Frank grapples with his existence and identity in isolation. The opening of the novel introduces readers to Frank's precarious life on the island, detailing his harsh experiences with Jackson, who has raised him without affection and often resorts to violence. As Frank reflects on his memories, he learns about the shipwreck that left him stranded and begins to comprehend the sparse world around him. His development is marked by moments of introspection, a longing for companionship, and a deep desire to understand language and the nature of his existence. The significantly abusive relationship he has with Jackson creates a complex dynamic that challenges Frank's understanding of power and morality as he navigates his reality in solitude.
