Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Lost Lenore: The Adventures of a Rolling Stone" by Mayne Reid is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The story is centered on Rowland Stone, known as "The Rolling Stone," who relates the events of his life from his humble beginnings in Dublin through various hardships, including his tumultuous family dynamics, his experiences at sea, and his subsequent adventures. Themes of resilience, identity, and the pursuit of belonging permeate the narrative as Rowland navigates the challenges posed by his circumstances and the people around him. The opening of the book introduces Rowland’s early life, highlighting his birth and upbringing in a modest family led by a skilled but humble father, followed by the father's death and a shift in family dynamics with the arrival of Mr. Leary, a journeyman saddler who becomes Rowland's stepfather. The young boy harbors a strong dislike for Mr. Leary, particularly as he perceives the man's undue influence growing over his mother and siblings. Following a series of conflicts between Rowland and Leary, Rowland becomes an apprentice on a ship and leaves home, marking the beginning of his adventures. Each episode in his journey paints a vivid picture of his struggles and character development, setting the stage for a rich narrative filled with emotional depth and adventure.
