Sinopsis de THE MISSION

Frederick Marryats "The Mission" presents a captivating narrative steeped in the rich traditions of 19th-century adventure fiction. Set against the backdrop of the South Seas, the novel intricately weaves themes of exploration, cultural encounters, and moral dilemmas faced by European agents in foreign lands. Marryats literary style, characterized by vivid descriptiveness and engaging dialogue, complements his keen observations of human nature and imperialism, illuminating the complexities of colonial relationships during the Victorian era. The text embodies both the spirit of adventure and a critical commentary on the implications of Western expansionism, making it a significant work in the canon of maritime literature. Frederick Marryat, an accomplished naval officer and pioneer of maritime fiction, drew upon his extensive experiences at sea to craft this tale. His firsthand knowledge of naval life and encounters with various cultures infused authenticity into his characters and settings. Moreover, Marryats background as a writer of childrens stories reflects his understanding of moral and ethical questions, which is evident throughout "The Mission." This novel is highly recommended for readers interested in exploring the intersections of adventure and ethical inquiry within imperial contexts. It not only provides thrilling escapades but also serves as a thought-provoking examination of the consequences of colonial endeavors, making it essential reading for scholars and enthusiasts of historical narratives.

Escrito por Frederick Marryat


Frederick Marryat (1792 - 1848) va abandonar l'any 1830, una brillant carrera a la marina de guerra britànica per dedicar-se exclusivament a la literatura. La seva narrativa sol tenir el mar com a escenari, amb aventures i combats com a ingridients bàsics d l'acció. Immensament admirat en el seu temps, segueix sent-ho avui, i moltes de les seves obres ("Peter Simple", "El guardiana marina Easy", "El vaixell fantasma"...) continuen sent editades, tradüides i llegides en diferents idiomes. Autors com Mark Twain, Ernest Hemingway, Joseph Conrad o, més recentment, C. S. Forester, entre molts altres, el consideren el fundador de la moderna narrativa naval. "La lloba que fou" també el situa com un autor crucial de la literatura fantàstica en el l'àmbit temàtic de l'home-llop.
