Author Mitford, Bertram, 1855-1914
Title The Luck of Gerard Ridgeley
Credits Produced by Nick Hodson of London, England
Summary "The Luck of Gerard Ridgeley" by Bertram Mitford is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows two young men, Gerard Ridgeley and Harry Maitland, as they embark on a journey to Natal in search of new opportunities. As they arrive on the shores, they are faced with the trials and unpredictability of life in a foreign land, each character showing unique traits that guide their experiences. The beginning of the novel introduces the two protagonists on board the steamship "Amatikulu", nearing the end of their voyage to Natal. Gerard is depicted as an optimistic and resilient character, eager to embrace the challenges ahead, while Harry exhibits more discomfort and reluctance about their new surroundings. As they arrive at Durban and subsequently navigate through tumultuous waters aboard a tugboat, the physical and moral challenges of their journey begin to surface. They find themselves in a vibrant but harsh environment; yet, they must adapt to their circumstances, setting the stage for their eventual destinies in this new land. The gripping situations they face on arrival hint at the adventures and hardships that will follow them as they strive for success and independence. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
