Juggernaut: A Veiled Record

Description

Written by George Eggleston and Dolores Marbourg, Juggernaut: A Veiled Record is the story of Edgar Braine, a man consistently successful in his endeavors, yet unable to come to terms with one important warning offered to him by his mother during the waning years of her life. A story of success, love and politics, the book also sheds light on the intricate psychological qualities of a man who worked ceaselessly to attain his goals, yet had never fully grasped the most important essence of the interactions between marriage, politics and business.

The primary author of the novel, which was completed in 1891, was George Cary Eggleston, one of two acclaimed American brothers, both of whom have achieved their fame by becoming prolific writers. Known for stories focusing on social and political issues, such as A Man of Honor, Camp Venture, a Story of the Virginia Mountains and the later Love is the Sum of It All, the former Confederate soldier had an impressive career as an author spanning across several decades.

Together with contributor Dolores Marbourg, Eggleston wrote Juggernaut as his third novel, after having completed The Wreck of the Red Bird in 1882. The book is written in Eggleston’s distinctive style, and its focus on the inner struggle of his remarkable main character makes it a worthy read regardless of what generation you are from.

Themes such as ambition, the struggle of reaching a higher rank in politics and the immense difference that a drive toward success can make in a person’s life are some of the main issues discussed and exemplified throughout the novel’s plot.

For anyone interested in the intricate depths of politics, love and business, this novel is one of the best recommended reads. Juggernaut: A Veiled Record will draw you in from the very start, and its surprising conclusions are well worth every second spent on reading the book cover to cover.
