The passengers on the Hankyu line : a novel / by Arikawa, Hiro,1972-author.; Powell, Allison Markin,translator.; translation of:Arikawa, Hiro,1972-Hankyū densha.English.;
"Between the two beautiful Japanese towns of Takarazuka and Nishinomiya, in a stunning mountainous area of Japan, rattles the Hankyu train. Passengers step on and off, lost in thought, contemplating the tiny knots of their existence. On the outward journey we are introduced to the emotional dilemmas of five characters, and on the return journey six months later, we watch them resolve. A young man meets the young woman who always happens to borrow a library book just before he can take it out himself; a woman in a white bridal dress boards looking inexplicably sad; a university student leaves his hometown for the first time; a girl prepares to leave her abusive boyfriend; and an old lady discusses adopting a dog with her granddaughter. These fully developed stories crisscross each other like the railway lines in the book."--

Dominion : the railway and the rise of Canada / by Bown, Stephen R.,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Stephen R. Bown continues to revitalize Canadian history with this thrilling account of the engineering triumph that created a nation. In The Company, his bestselling work of revisionist history, Stephen Bown told the dramatic, adventurous and bloody tale of Canada's origins in the fur trade. With Dominion he continues the nation's creation story with an equally thrilling and eye-opening account of the building of the Canadian Pacific Railway. In the late 19th century, demand for fur was in sharp decline. This could have spelled economic disaster for the venerable Hudson's Bay Company. But an idea emerged in political and business circles in Ottawa and Montreal to connect the disparate British colonies into a single entity that would stretch from the Atlantic to the Pacific. With over 3,000 kilometers of track, much of it driven through wildly inhospitable terrain, the CPR would be the longest railroad in the world and the most difficult to build. Its construction was the defining event of its era and a catalyst for powerful global forces. The times were marked by greed, hubris, blatant empire building, oppression, corruption and theft. They were good for some, hard for most, disastrous for others. The CPR enabled a new country, but it came at a terrible price. In recent years Canadian history has been given a rude awakening from the comforts of its myths. In Dominion, Stephen Bown again widens our view of the past to include the adventures and hardships of explorers and surveyors, the resistance of Indigenous peoples, and the terrific and horrific work of many thousands of labourers. His vivid portrayal of the powerful forces that were molding the world in the late 19th century provides a revelatory new picture of modern Canada's creation as an independent state."--
