Project Gutenberg 2019-09-19 Public domain in the USA. 161 Walpole, Hugh 1884 1941 Walpole, Sir Hugh Maradick at Forty: A Transition Produced by David T. Jones, Al Haines, Cindy Beyer & the online Project Gutenberg team at http://www.pgdpcanada.net "Maradick at Forty: A Transition" by Hugh Walpole is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around James Maradick, a middle-aged man who appears to be grappling with the mundanity of married life, raising children, and reflecting on the choices that have led him to a life of routine and quiet discontent. The narrative promises a journey through Maradick's internal struggles as he navigates his relationships and the longing for something more fulfilling, standing at the cusp of a potential transition in his life. The opening of the narrative establishes a picturesque setting as the Maradicks embark on a familiar vacation to Treliss, a charming coastal town. Through the lens of the train journey, the Reader meets Maradick and his wife, Emmy, who is excited about the holiday while Maradick feels a sense of detachment and weariness. The contrast between Mrs. Maradick's spirited demeanor and Mr. Maradick's increasing sense of isolation and reflection hints at deeper themes of marital discontent, existential crises, and the inevitable passage of time that shapes their lives. The journey is not just physical; it serves as a metaphor for Maradick’s state of mind as he confronts the limitations of his present existence and contemplates the ghost of the adventurous life he once envisioned.
