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.
