WHY TRAIN NARRATIVES ?
Train narratives, rich in cultural and literary significance, are often overlooked in academic circles. This gap highlights the potential for scholarly exploration, with trains serving as powerful symbols of movement, connection, and transition. By examining these narratives, researchers can gain insights into human experiences, societal shifts, and historical events. The scarcity of comprehensive material on this topic underscores the importance of such academic inquiry, suggesting that these collections could serve as valuable resources for future scholarly endeavors and contribute to a deeper understanding of literature’s intersection with mobility and the human experience
