Our Name
Aventure is inspired by the Prologue of The Canterbury Tales by Chaucer:
“… a compaignye
Of sondry folk, by áventure y-falle
In felaweshipe …”
Áventure is Middle English for “adventure,” and we believe that life is an adventure that we “sondry folk” are on together.
Our goal is to help learners to make the most of this adventure. Our programs are a launching point.
P.S., if our logo reminds you of a wave ...
you're right!
... but that's another story.
– Dennis Hogan, Executive Publisher
