| Summary | "The Great White Way" by Albert Bigelow Paine is an adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows Nicholas Chase, a man inspired by generations of sea captains, who embarks on an ambitious expedition to the South Pole, driven by his dreams of discovery and a promise of romantic encounters amid strange surroundings. Along his journey, he is joined by a colorful cast of characters, including Chauncey Gale, a wealthy real estate mogul; his daughter Edith; and a scientific mind named Ferratoni. The opening of the novel introduces us to Nicholas Chase, who, after selling a lackluster business venture, decides to pursue his lifelong dream of exploring the South Pole. His ambition is met with skepticism by scientists who do not share his vision of a warm, habitable land beyond the icy barrier. After grappling with challenges in securing funding and support, Chase ultimately gains the enthusiastic backing of Chauncey Gale and his daughter, setting in motion an adventure filled with anticipation and the promise of discovery. With an eclectic cast and his unyielding idealism, Chase is armed with hope as he prepares to embark on what appears to be an extraordinary journey into the unknown.
