Les tribulations de Shoking" by Ponson du Terrail is a novel likely written in the mid-19th century. The story revolves around the character called Shoking, who navigates the hardships of London life while engaging with various people from different social classes, facing challenges, and continuing his personal transformations. With a blend of drama and social commentary, the novel delves into the struggles faced by the impoverished and the intricacies of their interactions. At the start of the story, Shoking is introduced as a well-dressed man who finds himself at Charing Cross, discussing his cold wait for a penny-boat with a desperate woman whose husband is imprisoned for debt. Their conversation reveals the woman's struggles to free her husband, and Shoking, exhibiting a mix of compassion and curiosity, engages with her. As their journey unfolds on the boat to Rotherithe, Shoking encounters various individuals, including the rough John, leading to tense moments that hint at larger societal themes of crime and class struggles within Victorian London. The narrative sets up the complexities of Shoking's character and the dynamics of the world around him, foreshadowing the tribulations he will face. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
