Peter Simple by Frederick Marryat
"Peter Simple" by Frederick Marryat is a novel published in 1834. It follows a young British midshipman during the Napoleonic Wars as he transforms from the self-described "fool of the family" into a capable naval officer. Through encounters with colorful shipmates—including a protective mentor and a captain prone to wild exaggerations—Peter navigates both the perils of war at sea and the challenges of growing up. This coming-of-age tale captures British naval supremacy
in the early nineteenth century. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
