A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK How does one live after surviving injustice? What satisfaction comes from revenge? Can the past ever be left behind? Masterfully composed and imbued with extraordinary feeling and understanding, The Iron Tracks is a riveting tale of survival and revenge by the writer whom Irving Howe called "one of the best novelists alive today." Ever since he was released from a concentration camp forty years earlier, Erwin Siegelbaum has been obsessively riding the trains of postwar Austria. His days are filled with drink, his nights with brief love affairs and the torments of his nightmares. What keeps him sane is his mission to collect the menorahs, kiddush cups, and holy books that have survived their vanished owners. And the hope that one day he will find the Nazi officer who murdered his parents—and have the strength to kill him. A haunting exploration of one survivor's complex, wrenching, inner world, The Iron Tracks is distinguished by the depth of insight and the distinctively stark, elegant style that have won Aharon Appelfeld recognition as one of the world's great writers.

W. Nelson. This book was released on 2020-10-02. The Long Iron Tracks available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The Long Iron Tracks is an imaginative short story that follows the transformative journey of a steam engine named Courage as he encounters the risen person of Jesus in the form of an engineer. The story begins with Courage lying stuck and rusted on a network of iron tracks. In the midst of his despair, the engineer invites Courage to participate in a series of restorative events that bring Courage, his friends, and nature itself into greater communion with the Creator. Courage explores the world of the Creator, following the voice of the Engineer and the roaring pull of the Lion whistle that he bears, through the darkness of a forest and the fury of a hurricane. Along this journey, Courage wrestles with the nature of fear, justice, and the Christian identity, before finally coming face to face with the Creator. This encounter proves both sustaining and breathtaking, as Courage realizes that the Creator’s intent has always been to find him and restore him to his true self; and that, despite the gnawing fear inside of him, Courage will never be alone.

Experience the race of rails to link the country—and meet the men behind this incredible feat—in a riveting story about the building of the transcontinental railroad, brought to life with archival photos. In the 1850s, gold fever swept the West, but people had to walk, sail, or ride horses for months on end to seek their fortune. The question of faster, safer transportation was posed by national leaders. But with 1,800 miles of seemingly impenetrable mountains, searing deserts, and endless plains between the Missouri River and San Francisco, could a transcontinental railroad be built? It seemed impossible. Eventually, two railroad companies, the Central Pacific, which laid the tracks eastward, and the Union Pacific, which moved west, began the job. In one great race between iron men with iron wills, tens of thousands of workers blasted the longest tunnels that had ever been constructed, built the highest bridges that had ever been created, and finally linked the nation by two bands of steel, changing America forever.
