Summary "Success: A Novel" by Samuel Hopkins Adams is a fiction work written in the early 20th century. The story begins in a desolate desert location, centering on a young station-agent named Banneker, a character marked by his intelligence and a deep sense of responsibility. As events unfold, the narrative introduces themes of personal ambition, social class dynamics, and the complications that arise from human interaction, particularly underscored by an impending train accident that sets the stage for deeper character exploration and conflict. At the start of the novel, the reader is introduced to the lonely Manzanita station, where Banneker exhibits a blend of youthful vigor and a heavy sense of duty as he navigates the mundane yet critical responsibilities of a station agent. He is engrossed in a mail-order catalogue, revealing his aspirations and dreams beyond his current circumstances. The sudden arrival of two strangers—a pair of hobos—interjects an element of tension into the otherwise tranquil setting. Banneker’s ensuing actions during a catastrophic train accident showcase his character and foreshadow his role as both a caretaker and a figure caught in the crossfire of fate and ambition, ultimately framing the challenges he will face as the narrative progresses.
