The Needle's Eye

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'The Needle's Eye' is a compelling exploration of wealth, conscience, and the immense burden of social responsibility in early 20th-century America. Written by Arthur Train, this novel moves beyond the legal dramas for which he is best known to examine the profound moral dilemmas facing the industrial elite. The story follows John Graham, a young man born into a life of staggering privilege as the heir to a vast banking fortune. However, his life takes a transformative turn when he is forced to confront the harsh source of his family's prosperity: the treacherous and volatile coal mining industry.As Graham attempts to reconcile his humanitarian ideals with the ruthless demands of high finance and industrial management, he finds himself caught between his heritage and his heart. The novel vividly portrays the tension between capital and labor, capturing the strikes, unrest, and human cost of an era defined by rapid industrial growth. Through Graham's struggle, readers are invited to consider the biblical proverb of the camel and the needle's eye, questioning whether it is possible for the powerful to maintain their integrity. 'The Needle's Eye' remains a poignant study of class conflict and the search for justice amidst systemic inequality.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
