Summary: "Mistress Branican" by Jules Verne is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around Captain John Branican, who embarks on a significant sea voyage aboard the ship Franklin, leaving behind his wife Dolly and their young son, Wat. The narrative explores themes of adventure, separation, and the human spirit as it captures the hopes and emotional struggles faced by the characters during the captain's journey and the family's waiting. The opening of the novel sets the stage for John Branican's departure on March 15, 1875, as he prepares to command the Franklin on its maiden voyage to Calcutta. The reader is introduced to the ship, described with vivid detail, and the captain himself — a man of notable courage and strong character, whose actions have earned him respect in San-Diégo. As he bids farewell to his wife, Dolly, who fears for their separation, the emotional weight of their parting is palpable. While Dolly remains at home with their infant son, the narrative hints at a mix of anxiety and determination, preparing readers for the unfolding adventures and challenges that lie ahead for both John at sea and Dolly at home.
