"Max" by Katherine Cecil Thurston is a novel published in the early 20th century, likely around the 1910s. The story is set in Europe, beginning with a night train traveling from Cologne to Paris and centers on the titular character, Max, a young Russian boy on the cusp of adventure. He embodies the spirit of a born adventurer, filled with dreams and aspirations as he navigates his way through life, seeking more than just mere pleasure or money; he desires life and fame. The opening of the novel introduces readers to a weary but restless atmosphere on the north express train. Amidst the dream-like quality of the night journey, Max is initially portrayed as a solitary figure, lost in his thoughts and memories of Petersburg. His reverie is interrupted as he awakens and grapples with a sense of purpose and an exciting unknown awaiting him in Paris. He encounters other passengers, including three men who engage in somewhat dismissive banter, contrasting sharply with Max’s intense and vibrant ambition. His experiences culminate in his arrival in a stark, cold Paris where he searches for a hotel, eager to dive into a new chapter of his life, while carrying the weight of a mysterious packet that hints at deeper complexities within his journey. This establishes not only the tone of the narrative but also Max's restless spirit and determination to chase after his dreams.
