"Captains Courageous: A Story of the Grand Banks" by Rudyard Kipling is a novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative follows the misadventures of a spoiled and wealthy young boy, Harvey Cheyne, who falls overboard from a luxury liner and is rescued by fishermen from the schooner "We're Here." The story explores themes of class, growth, and the harsh realities of life at sea as Harvey learns the ways of the fishing crew and the importance of hard work and humility. The opening portion of the book introduces Harvey Cheyne, a privileged boy who is seen as a nuisance by the adult passengers aboard his family's liner. He is depicted as arrogant and spoiled, having been raised with an abundance of money but little discipline. After he falls overboard while attempting to impress the men in the ship's smoking room, he finds himself in a dory with a Portuguese fisherman named Manuel who receives him with indifference. Eventually, he is brought aboard the "We're Here," where he must confront the realities of work and survival among a group of rugged, hardworking fishermen, beginning his transformation from a wealthy brat to a more grounded individual—a journey that will shape the rest of his life.
