Résumé

Résumé : "Rollo on the Atlantic" by Jacob Abbott is a captivating narrative that follows the adventures of a young boy named Rollo and his sister Jane as they embark on a transatlantic voyage to Europe. The story begins with Rollo's parents, who are already in Europe due to Mr. Holiday's health issues, deciding to send for their children to join them. Rollo, at twelve years old, is tasked with the responsibility of taking care of his younger sister Jane during the journey. Their uncle George is entrusted with the arrangements for their passage on a steamship departing from New York. The narrative details the preparations for the voyage, including the mix-up with the children's luggage and the bustling scene at the pier as the ship prepares to depart. Despite initial anxieties, particularly from Jane, the siblings are left to navigate the journey on their own after their uncle fails to find a guardian for them on board. The story captures the excitement and challenges of the voyage, from the bustling harbor scenes to the firing of the ship's guns as it departs. Throughout the journey, Rollo's character is portrayed as resourceful and determined, eager to prove his capability in managing the voyage without adult supervision. The narrative also highlights the dynamics between Rollo and Jane, as Rollo reassures his sister and takes on the role of her protector. The book is not only an adventure story but also serves as an educational piece, providing insights into the workings of a steamship and the experience of sea travel in the 19th century.
