"The Financier"
is the first part of Theodore Dreiser's famous "Trilogy of Desire", which brilliantly epitomizes the life and path to success of Charles Yerkes, a prominent American millionaire. Yerkes, who played a significant role in the development of the public transportation system in Chicago and the London Underground, inspired the image of the novel's protagonist, Frank Cowperwood. Born in the family of a small bank clerk, Frank, thanks to his extraordinary intelligence, iron will and extraordinary determination, turns into a celebrity in the world of finance.
Frank Cowperwood's path is a path to a dream, filled with countless opportunities for development. He enters the world of luxury and big money, plunges into the cycle of the largest financial transactions and revolves in the company of the best businessmen of his time. His story is the key to success: telling how he transforms from an ambitious young man who works while others sleep into an unscrupulous, overbearing and profit-hungry millionaire.
In The Financier, Dreiser masterfully describes how the pursuit of power and wealth can change a person. Frank, finding for himself each new capital and discovering new opportunities for development, overcomes numerous obstacles on the way to the heights of fame and influence. His path to success requires tremendous sacrifice and hardship, demonstrating that realizing the American dream can have its dark side.
"The Financier" is not just a success story, it is a gripping narrative about the price one has to pay for one's dreams. Theodore Dreiser shows that the path to a dream requires not only determination and hard work, but also the ability to balance on the moral edge. This novel is a fascinating and profound story of how one can reach incredible heights without losing oneself.
