Fortitude is a memoir written by Hugh Walpole that tells the story of his life as an adventurer. The book is a detailed account of Walpole's education, both in the traditional sense and through his experiences traveling the world. The author takes readers on a journey through his childhood, his time at Cambridge, and his travels in Europe, Asia, and Africa. Along the way, he encounters a variety of people and cultures, and learns valuable lessons about life, love, and the pursuit of happiness. The book is a testament to the power of perseverance and determination, as Walpole overcomes many obstacles in his quest for knowledge and adventure. It is a must-read for anyone interested in travel, self-discovery, and the human experience.1913. Walpole wrote horror novels that tended more towards the psychological rather than supernatural, with a brooding underlying mysticism. He achieved financial and literary success with Fortitude. The novel is a romance; a fairytale about a young man who very naively believes in almost everything; one of the author's school stories based on his experiences as a teacher, and an epic account of another young writer in the making. Its opening line acts as a clarion call: It isn't life that matters, but the courage you bring to it!
