Summary "The Spider’s Web" by St. George Rathborne is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds during the backdrop of the Chicago World’s Fair, focusing on the character Aleck Craig, a Canadian who is searching for a woman he has apparently been pursuing without success. The plot suggests themes of romance, adventure, and intrigue, with complex interactions between characters that hint at deeper connections and conspiracies. The opening portion introduces Aleck Craig, who has been searching for a mysterious woman amidst the chaotic scene of the Fair. He encounters his friend Claude Wycherley, who reveals that he is entangled in a rather peculiar plot involving a Turkish pasha seeking vengeance for a past incident. As the two converse, Aleck is drawn further into the excitement, making a daring decision to rescue a group of women, including the one he has been searching for, from a supposed madman during a chaotic ride on the Ferris wheel. Themes of heroism and fate are woven into the narrative, setting the stage for a thrilling adventure filled with unexpected twists and emotional stakes. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
