The book chronicles the author's ambitious journey, which aims to determine the feasibility of constructing a railway between Paris and New York by traversing land routes across Siberia and Alaska. De Windt's expedition, filled with perilous encounters and vivid experiences, captures the spirit of adventure and exploration during a time when many areas were largely uncharted. The opening of the narrative details the author's motivations for the journey, including reflections on a previous attempt that had ended in failure, as well as the logistical considerations and preparations needed for such an arduous undertaking. De Windt introduces his companions, outlines the route they intend to take, and hints at the challenges of traveling through inhospitable regions. The first chapter describes their departure from Paris during a tumultuous winter, leading into subsequent events as they face physical hardships and unpredictable conditions, setting the stage for a gripping tale of resilience and discovery throughout untraveled terrains.
