This 1901 novel is the story of one man's ingenuity, perseverance and struggle in the construction of a grain elevatorand of his exhilarating triumph. Ayn Rand calls this her favorite novel because it has one element that I have never found in any other novel: the portrait of an efficacious man. The book, she says, is of an age when people saw man as strong, confident, cheerfully efficaciousand the universe as a place where victory and fulfillment are possible. It is that universethat vibrant sense that no rational goal is beyond man's reachwhich you will experience while reading CalumetK.
