Produktbeschreibung
Jack Carstairs of the power house: A tale of some very young men and a very young industry follows a young engineer in the early days of electrification, caught between industrial ambition and personal connection. Working in a Scottish power station, he moves through a world where technology is transforming daily life and social boundaries. The narrative opens with the contrast between the mechanical rhythm of the power house and the quiet beauty of the surrounding landscape. While tending to his duties, he meets a girl scavenging for coal an encounter that immediately reveals the gap between their lives yet hints at a growing curiosity between them. Her spontaneity and directness clash with his reserved manner, but their exchanges begin to bridge that divide, momentarily linking two very different paths. Their conversations range from practical concerns to deeper questions about purpose, work, and freedom. The mood shifts as unresolved ties from her life emerge, introducing personal complications and forcing the young engineer to examine not only his feelings but the direction of his life in an industry still defining itself.
