"The Exploits of Captain O'Hagan" by Sax Rohmer is a fictional novel written in the early 20th century. The story features Captain the Hon. Bernard O'Hagan, a larger-than-life character defined by his eccentric demeanor, chivalrous ideals, and flamboyant aristocratic flair. The book explores O'Hagan's adventures, interactions with various characters, and his unique outlook on life, particularly regarding class and honor. The opening of the novel introduces Captain O'Hagan in a lively caféscene where he encounters a rude pugilist named Jem Parkins. This encounter escalates when O'Hagan humorously confronts Parkins over the theft of his hat and ultimately bests him using a variety of jiu-jitsu techniques.
