The Adventuress
The author of the New York Times bestseller The Time Traveler’s Wife returns with another evocative “novel in pictures,” the much-anticipated follow-up to 2005’s The Three Incestuous Sisters. The Adventuress follows the dreamlike journey of an alchemist’s daughter. After she is kidnapped by a lascivious baron, she turns herself into a moth and flees to the garden of a charming butterfly collector named Napoleon Bonaparte. The story of how the two become lovers, and how their affair ends in tragedy and transcendence, is told through Niffenegger’s spare prose and haunting aquatint etchings. With a stunning and distinctive visual style reminiscent of the work of Edward Gorey, this gothic romance packs the emotional heft of the world’s great fairy tales. It will delight fans of the author’s previous works and enchant an entirely new legion of readers.

Well Audrey Niffenegger is quite unique not merely in her craft of acquaintance, as a well established writer but she is able to contrive a world of magical realism with unparalleled simplicity yet deeply personal., since her illustrations depict an out-of our own world, perhaps an inner world which is hidden by our peers. Still when one finds himself in a ~dead-end street~ it springs forth unbound.
My take on this work is that iτ's probably a "stitch" of creative ideas by an artist that feels entrapped by social conventions /(*)
-She wants to escape from an ill-fated marriage, from a Barron who is the representative of all that΄s ill & depraved in our society
- She inflames her "to be" marital bed when he stumbles upon it half drunk and escapes
-Bound in a cell she transcends to ..well rather complicated to describe in mere words.. but finally she becomes an aerial form of a moth and flies right within the iron bars of her prison.
-Later on she is found by a lonely general in his house
That is a surprising twist for he is Napoleon who is probably leaving in exile on the little island of Elba. Transformed by her flaming passion he rides again to one last crusade ( we see him saluting her high on his horse from a distance) There Niffenger "copies" an image of him I've seen in a much used painting {usually on covers of the "heroic" symphony by Lui (i.e. Beethoven who else)}
-Then she goes on leaving on her own till she hear her " husband's to-be" womanising ability by a villager
another twist again:
-She gets admitted to a lunatic asylum, unable to sεe her lover on the same way, but possibly still missing his caress??
Needless to say that at this point her only moments of sanity comes from thε visit of her cat ( the one she gave birth earlier on) and at the same time her Lover... Who supposedly came in the spirit of the Cat!?!
We are left wondering if that was a machination of her own mind or some form of transcending reality that enabled her to "gather up" courage and rebel against her accusers.
In general a very engaging read, not for children, in a form of fable like story telling, that depicts our heroine from a woman's perspective, trying to salvage her life in a downright hostile world. Her only "ace in the hat" is her birth from the mind of an uncanny alchemist striving for perfection. Thus her dead-end endeavours in such a "limited contrived" world.
--------------------------
(*)The discussion at the end of the book is informative describing her creative process which started with some enchanting random prints and then she found the in between parts that make the story. I think this approach gave the story an engaging imaginative structure. It also seems to me a useful process, an author could begin and evolve a story graphically and then create a written story as a next step.
{ taken from α separate review, since I read it all in one take in a bookstore, I didn't have the time to read that last bit!!)

Ok, so I’ve read this graphic novel probably more than ten times but I re-read it to my friend who was in town in January and it’s one of my favorite books by one of my favorite authors so thought I would include it on this blog.
This graphic novel is strange and wonderful and the only tattoo I have is actually from this book; a picture of two women embracing who are topless but wearing long black skirts and long opera gloves. The tattoo represents self love, my astrological sign, Gemini, and also represents being an LGBTQ person.
This book reads like a dream and is the story of an alchemist’s daughter and her strange adventures which include fleeing from her husband, wrapping herself in a cocoon and becoming a moth, giving birth to a cat and transcending the tragedy she has left behind. The prose is sparse but inventive and much of the story is told through aquatint etchings, an elaborate process that is becoming outdated and is explained at the back of this book. The words and the etchings give the book a unique, antique feel.

Strange book.
At best I can describe it as a fairy tale for adults. Reading it restores that feeling of "wtf" I would get while attempting to read way ahead of my ability as a child, into a strange world of monsters and unfathomable sadness... way beyond Jack and Jill.
But other that that sense of dislocation, I didn't bring anything forth with me when the book was finished. I even had to re-read it when someone asked how it ended; I couldn't remember. I suspect a week from now I won't remember again.
Like "The Three Incestuous Sisters" this book has a title that suggests a plot that isn't there. Or maybe, because I'm not a woman, I'll never get it.
I borrowed this (and the three sisters book) from the library, and I'm glad, because I would have given them away after looking at them, making them both #3s on my list (#1 being a book I would jealously keep and never loan out and #2 a book I would keep but allow out of my sight from time to time...)

Well, this was certainly a pleasant discovery at the library! Audrey Niffenegger’s first book! No, not The Time Traveler’s Wife (a modern classic now twice adapted), but something she did in art school, which since she later became an acclaimed and successful novelist we get to see. It’s a fable illustrated by Niffenegger herself (in an intricate process she explains in an afterword). The whole thing is exactly the kind of creativity that exists at this stage in someone’s career, and such a pleasure to enjoy when usually it will be forgotten or left behind.

The Adventuress is the first book by American author and artist, Audrey Niffenegger. It was created when Niffenegger was a student at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, developing from a series of drawings. The original books were hand printed: a limited edition of ten copies. The drawings are aquatints, featuring a young woman in a skirt and long gloves, created by an alchemist. After the woman is kidnapped by a Baron, the story takes some bizarre turns, including transformation into a moth, an affair with Napoleon, giving birth to a cat and being cared for by nuns. The text is minimal, often as little as one or two words on the page opposite the prints.
In her afterword, Niffenegger explains the complicated process involved in the hand printing. The prints, in subdued colours, are quite individual, and Niffenegger’s style is distinctive. It is easy to see from her later works (The Night Book Mobile and Raven Girl) that both the quality of the art and the storytelling have improved since the earlier books she refers to as “visual novels”. Dedicated Niffenegger fans may wish to own a copy; borrowing from the library is recommended for those who are merely “interested”. Different.

Nine times out of ten I think graphic novels are entirely forgettable, but this one made me want to buy it. Spare, poetic, haunting. I love it.
I also loved Niffenegger's comments on the book's process of creation, which were included at the end. It surprised me that the whole thing was originally completed between 1983 and 1985, when the author was in art school. The style of The Adventuress feels entirely postmodern, and fits right in with the current taste. So...way ahead of its time?
Like a blend of fairytale, feminist commentary and folk wisdom. With humor that somehow didn't make me gag. Would make a great gift, especially for your favorite Wiccan aunt.

Beautifully illustrated. She gives birth to a cat! How cool is that?!

This picture book was originally put together as a class project in college; be warned that it does not show any of the story telling prowess Niffenegger later exhibited in The Time Traveler's Wife. I ran across the book because it was shelved next to a copy of The Time Traveler's Wife, and its large format caught my eye.
If you "read" this book, I recommend going through it the first time looking only at the pictures. Don't look at the words at all, or at least not until your second time through the book. The pictures alone have a haunting quality. I think the story is best experienced by letting the message of the drawings come through on their own.
Reading the words makes the story way too simplistic and matter of fact to be interesting. It seems the pictures came first, and then someone decided there needed to be explanatory words to go along with the drawings.
Indeed Niffenegger's notes on the book indicate that it started as a series of drawings and only later became a storybook.

"Her spirit mourned for her body."
This is so strange, especially that cameo from Napolean
January 10, 2021
Very strange without the context, and with the context, not much more than a curiosity. The afterword explains that the story was built around a couple random sketches. The technique for the art sounds cool, but it doesn't make for a good read.

What a weird little story.

A beautiful piece of art and a gloriously otherworldly tale.

A woman captured by an avaricious lord. A metamorphosis into a moth. A union with Napoleon. A cat born from a woman. A betrayal. A death. Spirit travelling.
This is basically the story of Audrey Niffenegger's picture story The Adventuress. Fascinating artwork strung together with single sentences or labels to construct something of a mystical fairy tale.
The story is second after the art as Niffenegger says in the afterword. She created the pictures as they came to her in a dream-like state and only when they were completed did she try to sequence them into the story of "The Adventuress".
The book design and pictures are superb with high quality paper used to bring out the best of Niffenegger's art. Given that the words used as minimal at best, this is a very quick read but then it was created not to be read but really looked at. Each picture has detail and atmosphere to capture your attention for several minutes at least.
It's an interesting book of art similar in style to Niffenegger's other book "The Three Incestuous Sisters" and has some excellent pictures. The story, while meandering, is in the best of fairy tales compelling and magical in equal turns. A good, well produced book but perhaps not for everyone given it's brevity in prose.

The edition I read (Abrams, ISBN 081097052X) is physically lush. The spine is done up in something resembling green suede and the pages are thick like good cheese. I can see where some people might be turned off. I won't be sharing this story with kids under 14 because of the ambiguous "wedding night" scene. But, I liked the bizarre, dreamy, and inexplicable twists the story took (It reminded me of Robert Altman's "Three Women."). I don't know how she just up and left Maurice, but in both books ("The Three Incestuous Sisters")children are easily abandoned.
The art is darker than "The Three Incestuous Sisters" because there's no color--just sepia, black and gray. However, most of the images are boxed in by a square frame, to which my photographer's eye immediately responded. The imagery is disturbing and will be recognized by anyone who has suffered through depression. The afterword goes into detail of how the book came about as an art book/project during her grad school days (I believe). This is not a fast read for a rushed commuter. Take a deep breath and make sure the martinis are mixed before opening.

So I checked this book out of the library at the same as Niffenegger's other illustrated novel The Three Incestuous Sisters. I read The Adventuress second, and I found myself flipping through it much faster than I had with the other visual novel. As Niffenegger explains in what amounts to The Afterword, she created this book in two years while she was studying art in Chicago. In comparison, it is clear that The Three Incestuous Sisters was a labor of love over the course of many, many years. The aquatints in this book are simpler, more straightforward, but even more full of energy, movement and action than the latter work.
The plot moves pretty quickly in this book. Actually, it is a bit jumpy, but that could have to do more with the story and the nature of the protagonist. The Adventuress is no ordinary protagonist. She was a magical creation, and so her life is something far beyond ordinary. In this book more than the other, the aquatints use facial expressions and other subtleties of line in place of color contrast to portray the nuances of the protagonist.

Read this book in the bookstore, quiet short. This book is the weirdest book I read so far, gothic art, short like children book but not for children. A bit summarise of the book:
- A girl made by an alchemist
- Her companions is other fail experience her dad (the alchemist made)
- She marry a Baron then escape from him
(This probably about toxic relationship)
- Her feeling after leave the castle then turn into a moth??? (I need some explain on this)
- She fly into Napoleon library and that is the seed of their love but she found out she is pregnant.
- she born a cat
- She found out she got betray and her kid (the cat) leave her.
- She run into a forest and exhaust the champleon turn into human and carry her to the nun, she got haulusination about things in the past, her kid come back to her but she feel ill then pass away.
- Her soul follow her kid and meet Napoleon again.
The end.

After reading two novels by Niffenegger (Time Traveler's Wife which I loved at the end of my teens and Her Fearful Symmetry which amused and disturbed me in my 20s) I decided to see Niffenegger's art. I should also say that I saw an interview with Niffenegger and Steven King where Niffenegger was awkward and aloof while Steven King charmed the sun from the sky. I think the personality of the author matters, whether or not you like their writing...
Overall a choppy, odd graphic novel literally built around sketches. Niffenegger said she believed her college drawings could turn into something, and this is what it became. The story never captured me, but the thin, pretty drawings were worth seeing. I remember one where the girls arms turned to string, and another where she stood pregnant in front of a mirror. Worth seeing.

I purchased this in NYC while attending Audrey's reading of Her Fearful Symmetry. Audrey is a visual artist as well as a fantastic author, and here we see the two mediums come together.
Illustrating the story with a unique art technique called Aquatints, Audrey introduces us to a woman created through Alchemy, and the trials and tribulations she endures.
Sometimes creepy and disturbing, always beautiful, her artwork grows in detail as the written words begin to diminish.. allowing the pictures to tell the story.

Ooooh, this is pretty. Sparse text, next to spare aquatint prints. Very nice. Something between Anke Feuchtenberger and Edward Gorey (perhaps like a comic written and drawn by the former, redrawn and packaged by the latter), but still with its own identity. An allegorical, dream-like story, with a female protagonist - I don't want to say more so as not to give too much away, but if that sounds at all appealing then I'd advise you to read this. I took it out from the library, but it's a book I'd be very pleased to have on my shelves.
January 3, 2025
Well it is certainly a unique/original story and weird as hell.
It's noticeable that this was Niffenegger's first book and she is not yet as developped a storyteller as she would become.
I would have liked it to have been a bit longer and for the story to not happen to the protagonist as much as the other way round.
But I enjoyed it. The drawings were beautiful and paired with the small amout of text they said a lot while still leaving so much to explore (which I love).
And this might indeed turn into me reading everthing Niffenegger has published.

Young Niffenegger began the Adventuress as sketches with no aim in mind. She never found one.
There was no harmony between the minimalist text and pictures. The 2 or 3 words printed with each picture were on the opposite page which upsets me -- all that wasted space! All that paper wasted! It never would have been published without the success of The Time Traveller's Wife.
This book is a product of ego. What a shitty book!

The story itself is simple and the art is beautiful. I'm a fan of Niffenegger's novels so it was cool to see a piece of her visual art set to story. I enjoyed learning about the process it took to make the pictures - sounds intense and involves a nitric acid bath.
I'd probably suggest this book as a library borrow, as opposed to a purchase.

I don't really know how to describe this - experimental and really really weird? Some of the illustrations were really interesting (I especially liked the theme of hands and eyes), others I didn't like much. I think in the end it was an interesting way of telling a story, the way she went about it and the content itself, but it wasn't really for me.
December 31, 2024
Whispered and suppressed giggles and snickers in the library earlier this evening as I flipped through it with my sisters. 10/10 experience and brought back a rush of memories of sneakily huddling over scandalous books in my school library with other girls. I’m glad the adventuress never wore a top for our benefit.
March 1, 2016
I don't think I really understood this. I certainly didn't appreciate it for what it should be appreciated for. I found the illustrations off-putting. The story wasn't beautiful/poetic enough to make up for that.
July 4, 2016
I feel a bit strange after reading this.
The illustrations are amazing.
But the storyline... I need more time to think about it.
