Résumé

Paul Prescott’s life changes when his father dies, leaving him to face the consequences of a debt and the responsibilities that come with it. Orphaned and burdened by financial uncertainty, Paul must navigate a harsh home environment shaped by strict authority and rigid social expectations, embodied in Squire Newcome. Amid this pressure, he is supported by Ben, a mischievous companion who brings a lighter tone to the story’s heavier concerns. Guided by his determination and by his father’s wishes, Paul decides to run away in search of a better future, beginning with his departure from the Poor House. His journey centers on perseverance, friendship, and the effort to reclaim hope.
