About this eBook

Author Churchill, Winston, 1871-1947
Title A Far Country — Volume 2
Credits Produced by Pat Castevans and David Widger
Summary "A Far Country — Volume 2" by Winston Churchill is a historical novel likely written in the early 20th century. The narrative revolves around the political and legal machinations surrounding the protagonist, Hugh Paret, as he navigates the complexities of state legislature and corporate interests amid a backdrop of power struggles and social commentary. The opening of the book introduces us to Hugh Paret during a visit to the state capital, where he is involved in discussions that reveal the intersection of law and politics. Accompanied by Colonel Paul Varney, Paret seeks to maneuver a controversial bill affecting the Railroad, implying both personal ambition and moral dilemmas as he encounters Hermann Krebs, an old acquaintance with opposing views on justice and corporate power. The dialogue highlights the contrasting ideologies between Paret, who is drawn to the allure of power and success, and Krebs, who represents a more idealistic perspective questioning the ethics of political dealings. This complex interplay sets the stage for Paret’s internal conflict as he grapples with the consequences of his choices in a rapidly evolving political landscape.
