"Capitaines Courageux: Une histoire du banc de Terre-Neuve" by Rudyard Kipling is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows a young boy named Harvey Cheyne, an American from a wealthy family who finds himself on a fishing vessel in the rough seas off the coast of Newfoundland. As he navigates the challenges of life at sea and the realities of hard work, he encounters a cast of sailors who teach him invaluable lessons about resilience, humility, and the nature of true courage. The opening of the novel introduces readers to the world of Harvey Cheyne aboard a paquebot, where he is seen as a spoiled and arrogant boy mocking the adult company around him. After a bout of seasickness, he falls overboard and is rescued by a fisherman named Manuel from the fishing boat, "We're Here". Once aboard the vessel, Harvey is met with the harsh realities of life at sea, and what follows is a tumultuous journey of learning about himself, the labor of fishing, and the camaraderie among the crew. This sets the stage for Harvey's transformation from a pampered boy into someone who appreciates the value of hard work and the strength of character. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
