The Young Llanero: A Story of War and Wild Life in Venezuela
Produced by Nick Hodson of London, England
"The Young Llanero: A Story of War and Wild Life in Venezuela" by W.H.G. Kingston is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows the life of a young boy named Barry Desmond who experiences the vibrant and tumultuous landscapes of Venezuela as he embarks on an adventure rich with danger, wildlife, and the ongoing conflicts of independence from Spanish rule. Along with themes of bravery and survival, it explores his family's colorful past and his determination to protect those he loves in a war environment. The opening of the novel introduces Barry's childhood memories in Venezuela, describing the stunning tropical scenery and rich biodiversity that surrounds him. It recounts his father's history as an Irish rebel who fled to South America after the failed Irish Rebellion of 1798 and settled down to raise a family. Summoned back to South America after schooling in England, Barry sets off on a voyage filled with perils, beginning with a chase by a Spanish man-of-war and facing encounters with Indians and dangerous wildlife. The narrative weaves together the excitement of exploration with the challenges of navigating through a land torn by war, setting the stage for Barry’s growth and adventures that await him.
