p>The Real Adventure (1916) is a novel by Henry Kitchell
Webster. Written at the height of Webster's career as a popular
author of magazine serials, The Real Adventure is a story of
romance, ambition, and identity. Exploring the effects of the
burgeoning feminist movement on the institution of marriage,
Webster illustrates the psychological effects of inequality on men
and women alike. "'Do you remember when you said that before?'
asked Rose. 'You told me that marriage was an adventure anyway, and
that the only thing to do was to try it-and see what happened.' He
grunted. 'The real adventure's just begun...'" Rose and Rodney
Aldrich had high hopes when they married in their hometown of
Chicago. Born into wealth, they both rely on the rhythms of
upper-class life, which prove more conducive to appearances than to
true affection. Disappointed, eager to prove herself as an
independent woman, Rose takes the drastic step of temporarily
leaving her husband, risking their reputations in order to achieve
her dream: to make it as a professional actor. The Real Adventure
is a novel about regular people faced with the pressures of life
and love. Humorous and heartfelt, Webster's story reminds us to not
only appreciate those we hold dearest, but to treat them as equals,
in every sense of the word.>With a beautifully designed cover
and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Henry
Kitchell Webster's The Real Adventure is a classic of American
literature reimagined for modern readers.
