| Summary | "Un Cadet de Famille, v. 2/3" by Edward John Trelawny is a historical novel written in the mid-19th century. The story revolves around the character of Torra, exploring themes of family, loyalty, and vengeance. It highlights the tragic experiences of Torra, who is sold into slavery by his brother and becomes embroiled in a quest for justice and retribution. The opening of the narrative introduces the difficult backstory of Torra, whose brother sold him into slavery, leading to a tragic sequence in which their mother dies trying to prevent this fate. As the story unfolds, Torra’s intense urge for vengeance is depicted through a vivid dream-like sequence where he encounters the spirit of his father. This initial portion sets the stage for the complexities of Torra's emotional and psychological journey, his relationship with his family, and his violent surroundings, as well as the eventual consequences he faces in a society fraught with moral ambiguity.
