Summary "Chasing the Sun" by R.M. Ballantyne is a novel written during the mid-19th century. The story centers around Fred Temple, a senior manager in a Liverpool business, who decides to take a well-needed holiday by sailing to Norway. Accompanied by friends, Fred embarks on an adventure that promises exploration, friendship, and experiences in the picturesque landscapes of Norway and even beyond into the Arctic regions. The opening portion of the book introduces Fred Temple, describing his character and setting up the premise for the adventure. As he prepares to leave for Norway with his loyal crew, including the retired sailor Bob Bowie, readers get a glimpse of Fred's romantic spirit and desire for adventure. The narrative quickly transitions from the bustling life in Liverpool to the challenges and excitement of sailing, as the crew experiences a tumultuous storm at sea, hinting at the rugged landscapes and charming encounters that await them on their journey through the captivating coastlines of Norway.
