Summary "The Adventures of Don Lavington: Nolens Volens" by George Manville Fenn is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around a young man named Lindon Lavington, who, after being unfairly accused of theft by his uncle Josiah, finds himself embroiled in a series of misadventures that lead him far from home. With themes of injustice, adventure, and young rebellion, the narrative proposes a journey of self-discovery for the protagonist. At the start of the book, we are introduced to Don Lavington, a clerk living in Bristol who feels trapped under his uncle's strict supervision. After finding money missing from his uncle's office, suspicion quickly falls on him despite his innocence. Don's discontent grows as he navigates the oppressive dynamics of his home life, marked by harsh treatment from his uncle and tension with his mother. Compounded by the influence of unsavory characters like Mike Bannock, who incites rebellion with wild tales of foreign lands, Don's desire for freedom culminates in a reckless resolve to escape and seek adventure beyond the confines of his unhappy life. The opening sets the stage for a thrilling, yet introspective, narrative filled with conflict, adventure, and the longing for independence. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
