Marryatt, Captain Marryat, Kapitein The Mission; or Scenes in Africa Produced by Nick Hodson of London, England "The Mission; or Scenes in Africa" by Frederick Marryat is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The story centers around Sir Charles Wilmot, an elderly gentleman grappling with the loss of his family, including his wife and daughters who perished in an expedition to India. Driven by hope and despair, he becomes intrigued by reports of survivors from the shipwreck of the "Grosvenor", setting the stage for the unfolding narrative of loss, family ties, and the unknown. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to Sir Charles, who is mourning the death of his loved ones in India due to cholera. His only surviving family member, his grand-nephew Alexander, has become the focus of his affections. As Sir Charles anguishes over the fate of his daughter and her companions, reports suggest they might have survived in the wilds of Africa, prompting a desire for resolution. Alexander, driven by both affection for his uncle and adventurous spirit, resolves to travel to Africa to discover the truth, preparing for an expedition filled with potential dangers and discoveries. The opening establishes both the personal stakes for Sir Charles and the grand adventure that Alexander will embark upon, hinting at themes of family, exploration, and redemption.
