Summary: "Owen Hartley; or, Ups and Downs: A Tale of Land and Sea" by William H. G. Kingston is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around Owen Hartley, a young boy who becomes an orphan and navigates his way through life after the death of his parents. The narrative follows his journey from a humble upbringing to his employment in a shipping firm, and eventually on a maritime adventure that promises to shape his future. The opening of the novel introduces us to Owen's tragic loss and his transition from boyhood to a young man of responsibility. After his father's death, Owen finds himself taken in by a family friend, Farmer Rowe, who helps him secure a position with his relative, Simon Fluke, in London. As the story unfolds, Owen faces various challenges, including the harsh treatment from the ship's first mate while aboard the "Druid." Throughout this initial segment, we see the development of Owen's character and establish his friendships, particularly with Nat, a ship's boy who falls victim to mistreatment. This setup not only prepares readers for the trials he will face at sea but also hints at themes of resilience, friendship, and the quest for belonging. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
