Jacob Faithful and the Mission by Frederick Marryat Pdf
Captain Frederick Marryat (1792-1848) was a pioneer of the sea story. "Jacob Faithful," the tale of a boy born and rasied on a river-barge on the Thames, gives a picture of life in London and on the river in the early 19th century. [Facsimile reprint.]
Many preconceptions exist about the role of women in the Greco-Roman and Jewish worlds at the time of Jesus. By taking us through the world of women at that time, Cohick offers a solid glimpse of first-century culture- a wonderful window into the world of the New Testament.
Excerpt from Jacob Faithful: The Mission, or Scenes in Africa Jacob faithf UL is the first of a trio of novels which Captain Marryat wrote in the course of the year 1834, the other two being Mr. Midshipman Easy and Japhet in Search of a Father. They did not appear consecutively in three-volume form, for the collection of stories entitled The Pacha of Many Tales was the immediate successor of Jacob Faithful, while the publication of Midshipman Easy and J aphet was deferred until 1836. Nevertheless the pages of the Metropolitan Magazine bore witness during the course of 1834 to the enormous industry of our author, perhaps accounted for by the expense to which he had been put in standing for Tower Hamlets, as already narrated in the introduction to Peter Simple. Now that Captain Marryat is really launched on his literary career, he has no time or inclination to quarrel with his critics, or to give us those personal disquisitions as to his motives and his mean ings which appeared in the earlier volumes. He goes in a straightforward way to the execution of his business, occupied solely with the adventures of his hero, and never allowing the course of his narrative to be embarrassed with explanatory or exculpatory passages. Moreover, he has learnt better than before the principles of his profession his object is to interest the reader and carry out his novelistic design - the result being that Jacob Faithful is, from a technical standpoint, one of the best of his books, now and again reminding us of Smollett, and in the Opinion of some critics representing a high-water mark in Marryat's literary career.

Set in the time of the colonization of South Africa, this is an astounding work. Marryat elucidates the behaviour of the British outside their country. In the wilderness of Africa, all the remnants of the civilized society are replaced by wild attitudes. He has also captured the spirit of wild hunting expeditions with amazing brilliance. With deep characterization and strong plot, the work monopolizes the reader's attention from the very inception.
