Frank Mildmay; Or, the Naval Officer
Produced by Nick Hodson of London, England
"Frank Mildmay; Or, the Naval Officer" by Frederick Marryat is a fictional novel written in the early 19th century. The narrative centers around the character Frank Mildmay, a young man who reflects on his turbulent school days and his decision to join the naval profession, leading to various experiences at sea that challenge his character and values. Throughout the story, themes of pride, rebellion, and the harsh realities of naval life unfold, exploring how they shape Frank's development and interactions with others. The opening of the novel introduces readers to Frank Mildmay's background, detailing his childhood as the favored son of a wealthy gentleman who was initially weak and sickly but grew into a lively character. It recounts his troubled school experiences marked by deceit, mischief, and harsh discipline, as well as the negative influences he encountered that ultimately lead him to rebel against authority. As Frank becomes increasingly aware of the unjust treatment he experiences at school, he resolves to sail away, and thus begins his journey into the naval world, setting the stage for the adventures and challenges that lie ahead in his life at sea.
