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.>This edition of Henry Kitchell Webster's The Real Adventure is a classic of American literature reimagined for modern readers.
