The hero of the novel “Perseval Keene” is a young man who, because of life circumstances, cannot bear the name of his real father. Mischievous and independent by nature, the young man decides to join the navy. Life at sea hardened him, revealed, and strengthened the best traits of his character. During his years of service, Perseval met loyal friends, won the love of a charming girl, and received the title and estate that were rightfully his—his father’s.
