""Pierre Vinton: The Adventures Of A Superfluous Husband"" is a novel written by Edward Carrington Venable and first published in 1914. The story follows the titular character, Pierre Vinton, a wealthy and idle man who finds himself bored with his life and marriage. He embarks on a series of adventures, including a trip to Europe and a stint in the army, in an attempt to find meaning and excitement. Along the way, he meets a cast of colorful characters, including a beautiful actress and a group of bohemian artists. As Pierre navigates his way through these experiences, he begins to question the value of his privileged existence and the nature of love and happiness.
