Summary: "The Isle of Retribution" by Edison Marshall is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around the main character, Ned Cornet, a self-indulgent son of wealth whose careless lifestyle is thrown into turmoil when he inadvertently causes an accident that nearly results in the death of a young girl. The initial chapter introduces themes of recklessness, privilege, and the moral awakening that follows a close brush with disaster, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of the characters and their conflicts. The opening of the book presents Ned Cornet experiencing a carefree afternoon that abruptly shifts into chaos when he skids his car and collides with another vehicle, resulting in a serious accident. He discovers the injured girl to be unharmed, but the encounter leaves him shaken and contemplative as he grapples with the ramifications of his actions. Following the accident, there's a significant conversation with his father, Godfrey Cornet, who criticizes Ned's privileged life and moral laxity, urging him instead to embrace hardship and responsibility. This foreshadows a journey that will challenge Ned's character and force him to confront his life choices, making him consider the complexities of life's hardships and the essence of true manhood.
