The story follows a Finnish adventurer who arrives in Peru, drawn by the allure of gold and opportunity. As he navigates the challenges of life in a remote railway construction camp, he encounters a cast of intriguing characters, including a beautiful half-Indian nurse named Chimb, who becomes a significant figure in his journey. The beginning of the narrative introduces the protagonist arriving at Callao, Peru, on an English frigate, excited yet somewhat naïve about the realities of mining and rail construction. Through his eyes, we are drawn into the harsh conditions of the camp, where he quickly makes friends and faces dangers. His initial ambition to mine gold is interrupted by the hard labor required to build the railway while he also becomes entangled in the personal stories of his fellow workers, setting the stage for future adventures and deeper relationships, especially with Chimb, who embodies the intersection of cultural identities and the struggles of indigenous peoples.
