"Condemned as a Nihilist: A Story of Escape from Siberia" by G. A. Henty is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The book revolves around Godfrey Bullen, a young Englishman who finds himself in Russia, where he unwittingly becomes embroiled in a dangerous plot involving the Nihilists and the political tensions of the time. As he navigates his new life, he faces various challenges, including misunderstandings with the authorities that could threaten his safety. The opening of the story introduces Godfrey Bullen as he prepares to leave his school in England for St. Petersburg, Russia, to work for his father's business. His departure elicits mixed emotions from his friends, some of whom ominously warn him about the Nihilists, suggesting that he should be careful of their potential involvement in revolutionary activities. Upon arriving in Russia, Godfrey quickly becomes acquainted with the culture, language, and social dynamics of the city. However, his curiosity leads him to a masked ball, where he is unknowingly drawn into a plot that could have dire consequences, culminating in his dramatic arrest by the secret police. This sets the stage for his subsequent challenges and adventures in navigating the tumultuous socio-political landscape of Russia. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
