Summary "An Adventure with a Genius: Recollections of Joseph Pulitzer" by Alleyne Ireland is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The narrative centers around Alleyne Ireland's personal experiences and observations of the legendary newspaper magnate Joseph Pulitzer, exploring his character, intellect, and the unique relationship they formed. The opening of the book establishes Ireland's background and the circumstances that led him to answer an advertisement seeking a companion-secretary for Pulitzer, who was blind and needed assistance. Ireland describes his initial reflections and a rather comical interview process, emphasizing the challenges he faced in meeting Pulitzer’s stringent requirements. The chapter sets the stage for their ensuing adventures and interactions, hinting at the complexities of working for such a formidable figure, while revealing both men's aspirations and fears.
