The story takes place in the context of railway construction in Southeast Asia, focusing on the lives of expatriate engineers and local laborers working in the jungle of Cambodia. The narrative introduces several characters, notably An-hoan, a former artist turned laborer, and a group of European engineers including Georges Lully and his companion Fagui. The opening of the novel describes the setting where the protagonist, an engineer, begins his work for the Siam-Haut-Cambodge railway company. The scene is depicted with vivid imagery, introducing the character of An-hoan, who is respected as an artist despite his current status as a coolie. As the protagonist navigates his new environment, he interacts with fellow engineers and shares stories of their lives and the challenges they face, including the cultural tensions and the impact of their work on the local community. The opening sets a tone of reflection on the struggles and aspirations of the characters while hinting at deeper themes of cultural intersection and personal redemption.
