Martin Bishop is 18. His recently deceased father has left him a good education and high moral principles. The bank has seized the family farm. Martin lands a job as a timekeeper on a Northwest Territories railway construction site. Under the watchful eye of a tyrannical foreman, the crew has 52 days to lay 52 miles of track, a lucrative endeavor it turns out. In this remote camp from where there is no escape, corruption is a way of life. The workers, a bunch of rag-tag idiots and thieves selected precisely for their defects, dare not complain. All but Martin. What ill fate do the bosses have in store for this lamb among wolves? And what will become of Martin's lofty principles when threatened with reprisal?\n\n -----\n \nWe are in 1964. Martin Bishop is eighteen years old. His father, who died recently, left him as his only inheritance a good education and moral principles, the bank having seized the family farm. Martin lands a job as a pointer on a construction site in the Northwest Territories. Right in the middle of the forest, under the guidance of a tyrannical foreman, a piece of railway is being built there. 52 miles in 52 days: a rewarding feat. In this camp isolated from the rest of the world from which there is no escape, corruption is synonymous with a way of life. The workers, a band of morons and ragged bandits chosen expressly for their faults, dare not complain. But Martin is upright and does not eat that bread. He asks questions and is indignant at certain practices. What ill will the bosses do to this frank and naive boy, this lamb in a pack of wolves? And what will happen to Martin's principles under threat of retaliation?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 774212102110\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0774212102110\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e DVD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedVeryGood\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IDshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40681797157048,"sku":"4A-5OE9-6C0P","price":5.48,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0030\/9765\/7390\/products\/41ax6ZQ4IUL.jpg?v=1634111099","url":"https:\/\/idshop.ca\/en\/products\/the-timekeeper-lheure-de-verite","provider":"ID Shop.ca","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
