Finnish Meren urhoja: Kertomus suurilta matalikoilta E-text prepared by Helvi Ollikainen and Tapio Riikonen "Meren urhoja: Kertomus suurilta matalikoilta" by Rudyard Kipling is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story centers on Harvey Cheyne, a wealthy American boy who finds himself on a fishing vessel after falling overboard from a transatlantic ship. As he navigates this new and challenging environment, the interaction with the crew, especially with his savior Manuel, leads to his growth and understanding of life beyond privilege. The opening of the novel introduces Harvey Cheyne on a ship in the North Atlantic, where he is perceived by the crew as a naive and pampered youth, accustomed to a life of luxury. Harvey’s arrogance and entitlement clash with the realities of life at sea, as he struggles with seasickness and a lack of respect from the seasoned fishermen around him. After a fall overboard, Harvey is rescued by Manuel, a Portuguese fisherman, which sets the stage for his transformation from a carefree rich boy to someone who must earn his keep and adapt to the rigors of life on the ocean. The readers see hints of his character development as he begins to understand the value of hard work and camaraderie among the crew. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
