"Financier"
This is the opening book of Theodore Dreiser's acclaimed 'Desire Trilogy', which colourfully recounts
the life and career of Charles Yerkes, a prominent American millionaire. Yerkes, a key figure in the
development of public transport in Chicago and the London Underground, became the inspiration for the
novel's main character, Frank Cowperwood. Initially a humble bank clerk, Frank uses his intelligence,
will and determination to succeed in the financial world.
Frank Cowperwood's journey is an ambitious path, full of opportunities for social advancement. He enters
the world of luxury and wealth, takes part in significant financial transactions and makes connections
with the leading entrepreneurs of the age. His story exemplifies the path to success, from an ambitious
young man working with determination to a ruthless profit-driven millionaire.
In The Financier, Dreiser masterfully shows how the pursuit of power and wealth can transform an
individual. As Frank acquires capital and seizes new opportunities, he overcomes numerous obstacles on
his way to fame and influence. His success requires many sacrifices and overcoming hardships, showing
that the American dream has its dark side.
'The Financier' is not only a story about success, but also about the price that comes with it. Dreiser
shows that achieving a dream requires not only determination and hard work, but also the ability to deal
with moral dilemmas. This novel is a fascinating and profound journey through incredible achievement,
without losing yourself along the way.
