Mr. Midshipman Easy
"Mr. Midshipman Easy" by Frederick Marryat is a novel published in 1836. The story follows young Jack Easy, spoiled by his philosopher father's eccentric beliefs in equality and the "rights of man." When Easy joins the British Royal Navy during the Napoleonic Wars, he must reconcile his idealistic principles with the harsh realities of naval life. Aided by Mesty, an escaped slave and former African prince, Easy navigates Mediterranean adventures that test both his convictions and his character in this satirical coming-of-age tale.
