New York Times Bestseller: A sprawling epic of an American railroad dynasty's "sensational intrigues and stormy struggles for power" (The New York Times Book Review).
Founded in Portersville, Pennsylvania, in the latter days of Andrew Jackson's presidency, the Interstate is a small regional railroad with vast potential. Also, it is the birthright of Aaron deWitt's sons: ruthless yet charming Rufus and stubborn, idealistic Stephen. When Stephen wins control of the Interstate, his victory starts a series of events that will roil the deWitt family for generations.
Over decades, the Interstate grows into an enterprise capable of shaping the future of the nation. Yet, both its triumphs and defeats sow the seeds of the deWitt family's downfall. Brothers plot against brothers, sons demean fathers, wives betray husbands-all in pursuit of monumental power. Not even Cornelia, Rufus's beautiful and cunning daughter, can ensure that the deWitt family name won't disappear.
Spanning nearly a century, Never Victorious, Never Defeated is a brilliant dramatization of the lives of America's robber barons and further proof that Taylor Caldwell "never falters when it comes to storytelling" (Publishers Weekly).

Autoren-Porträt von Taylor Caldwell
Taylor Caldwell (1900-1985) was one of the most prolific and widely read authors of the twentieth century. Born Janet Miriam Holland Taylor Caldwell in Manchester, England, she moved with her family to Buffalo, New York, in 1907. She started writing stories when she was eight years old and completed her first novel when she was twelve. Married at age eighteen, Caldwell worked as a stenographer and court reporter to help support her family and took college courses at night, earning a bachelor of arts degree from the University of Buffalo in 1931. She adopted the pen name Taylor Caldwell because legendary editor Maxwell Perkins thought her debut novel, Dynasty of Death (1938), would be better received if readers assumed it were written by a man. In a career that spanned five decades, Caldwell published forty novels, many of which were New York Times bestsellers. Her best-known works include the historical sagas The Sound of Thunder (1957), Testimony of Two Men (1968), Captains and the Kings (1972), and Ceremony of the Innocent (1976), and the spiritually themed novels The Listener (1960) and No One Hears But Him (1966). Dear and Glorious Physician (1958), a portrayal of the life of St. Luke, and Great Lion of God (1970), about the life of St. Paul, are among the bestselling religious novels of all time. Caldwell's last novel, Answer as a Man (1981), hit the New York Times bestseller list before its official publication date. She died at her home in Greenwich, Connecticut, in 1985.Bibliographische Angaben
