Omschrijving

The Single Track is a novel written by Douglas Grant and first published in 1919. The story is set in the early 20th century and revolves around a young man named David Grant who dreams of becoming a railway engineer. David's father, who is a successful businessman, disapproves of his son's career choice and wants him to follow in his footsteps and take over the family business.Despite his father's objections, David is determined to pursue his passion for railways and lands a job with a small railway company. He quickly rises through the ranks and becomes the chief engineer, responsible for the construction of a new railway line through the mountains.As David works on the railway project, he faces numerous challenges and obstacles, including harsh weather conditions, dangerous terrain, and sabotage from a rival railway company. He also finds himself torn between his love for his work and his growing feelings for a young woman named Mary, who he meets while working on the project.Throughout the novel, David's determination and perseverance are put to the test as he navigates the complex world of railway construction and battles against powerful forces that seek to undermine his work. The Single Track is a gripping tale of adventure, romance, and the pursuit of one's dreams, set against the backdrop of the early 20th century railway boom.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
