Far Country
In the high-stakes world of Gilded Age New York, young lawyer Hugh Paret arrives with ideals intact and climbs the corporate ladder until he barely recognizes himself. Winston Churchill traces Paret's trajectory from earnest newcomer to hardened corporation lawyer with a sharp eye for the moral compromises success demands. The novel pulses with the energy of early twentieth-century America: roaring commerce, glittering wealth, and the quietly devastating cost of selling one's convictions. What makes Far Country endure is its refusal to offer easy redemption. Paret's transformation feels earned and terrible, a mirror held up to any reader who has traded principle for progress. The book was the second best-selling novel in America in 1915, capturing a nation's anxious self-examination at the height of industrial capitalism's triumph.
