"The Tunnel Thru the Air: or, Looking Back from 1940" by William D. Gann is a novel written in the late 1920s. This work intertwines elements of romance, spirituality, and speculation about the future, specifically focusing on the life and aspirations of its protagonist, Robert Gordon. The narrative delves into themes of scientific innovation, adherence to biblical principles, and the impact of personal faith on one’s destiny, positioning Robert as a character whose journey is guided by these elements. The opening of the novel introduces us to Robert Gordon’s early life in Texas, following his birth to Amelia and Calvin Gordon. Amidst a backdrop of personal and national tragedy, including the loss of his brother and the family's struggles after the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, Robert's mother nurtures his education and character, instilling in him a passion for learning and a desire to serve God. As he grows, Robert grapples with complex concepts about love, morality, and future aspirations; he dreams of becoming a great inventor and a peacemaker, while his interactions with his mother and community reflect a strong connection to Christian teachings. The beginning of the novel sets the stage for Robert's ambitions while hinting at the prophetic knowledge he believes is contained within the Bible, foreshadowing his quest for understanding and purpose in a rapidly changing world.
