"Jacob Faithful" and "The Mission"

by Frederick Marryat

Book Overview

The Mission follows the adventures of three English brothers who travel to southern Africa as missionaries. As they navigate the challenges of life in a foreign and untamed land, they encounter dangerous wildlife, unfamiliar cultures, and moral dilemmas. Through their journey, Marryat explores themes of faith, colonialism, and survival, creating a vivid adventure story set against the backdrop of Africa's vast wilderness.

Captain Frederick Marryat (1792-1848) was a pioneer of the sea story. "Jacob Faithful," the tale of a boy born and rasied on a river-barge on the Thames, gives a picture of life in London and on the river in the early 19th century. Facsimile reprint.]
