| Summary | "The Old Adam: A Story of Adventure" by Arnold Bennett is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows Edward Henry Machin, a man grappling with the mundane aspects of life despite recent financial success through stock market speculation. Throughout the opening chapters, Edward navigates complex relationships with his wife, Nellie, and their family, against the backdrop of his self-reflections on wealth and happiness. The beginning of the novel introduces Edward Henry Machin as he returns home, struck by a sense of melancholy despite a recent windfall from his investments. As he enters a domestic space filled with the trappings of both comfort and chaos, Edward reflects on the burdens of his life, such as perceived negligence from his wife and children. The narrative quickly escalates into a familial crisis when his son suffers a minor dog bite, which escalates Nellie's worries about potential rabies, prompting Edward’s internal conflict about duty and desire for escapism. This opening sets the tone for a blend of familial dynamics and self-exploration as Edward seeks both change and reassurance within his relationships and financial endeavors.
