About the Book The action and adventure genre in fiction depicts events or a series of events that happen outside the ordinary course of the protagonist's daily life, generally accompanied by dangerous episodes and physical action. Adventure stories are quick moving, with the pace of the plot being a critical component of mood setting. Action and adventure have been common book themes since the earliest days of fiction writing. In fact, the plots of Medieval romances were comprised of a series of adventures. Action / adventure fiction often overlaps with other genres, such as: war novels, crime novels, sea stories, Robinsonades, and spy stories. Also in this Book Our titles on adventurers and explorers present the lives and exploits of people who explored or travelled the world in a pioneering way. These include naturalists, sailors, mountain climbers, dog sledders, swimmers, pilots, and underwater explorers. Their activities had profound effects on the dissemination of religion, agricultural techniques, cultural values, disease, and the establishment of colonies throughout the world.

Excerpt from The Road to Paris: A Story of AdventureWhen I was a boy'in our valley behind the Blue Mountains of Pennsylvania, I used to read the 'true Travels, Adventures, and Observations of Captain John Smith, in. Europe, Asia, Africa, and America, from 1593 to and wonder whether I should ever have any travels or adventures of my own to make a book of. When, afterwards, I did go a travelling, and adventures did come thick and fast upon me, I was too much engrossed in the travels and adventures themselves to give a thought as to what matter they might be for narration. Not till this breathing-place came in my life, did my boyhood dreams return to my mind, and did I realize that my part in battle and imprisonment, danger and escape, love and intrigue, would make a book that might be worth fireside reading. That book I now begin, and shall probably finish it if I be not inter rupted by untimely death or by some new call to scenes of enterprise and turmoil, -for it is no retired veteran, but a man early in his twenties, that here tries whether with pen and ink he can make as fair a Show as he has already made with implements less peaceful.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
