| Summary | "Carried Off: A Story of Pirate Times" by Esmè Stuart is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Harry Fenn, a young yeoman's son who becomes embroiled in the dangerous world of piracy when he encounters a group of buccaneers and finds himself captured. Set against the backdrop of the perilous waters of the Thames and the West Indies, the book explores themes of duty, bravery, and adventure. The opening of the novel introduces Harry Fenn on a serene spring evening as he grapples with his ambitions and the weight of familial responsibility. His contemplative moment is disrupted when he encounters robbery at the hands of pirates attempting to steal his family's livestock. In a flash of courage, he confronts the intruders but is ultimately overpowered and taken captive. As he lies unconscious, he reflects on the tumultuous feelings that wrestle within him, blending fear for his family with a longing for adventure. This establishes the central conflict: Harry's struggle between following the call of adventure and facing the consequences of his rightful duty to his loved ones.
