Based on the real life story of streetcar magnate Charles Yerkes, "The Financier" is an unflinching examination of the corrupted American dream, which relates a story revolving around a fiercely dishonest and motivated businessman, Frank Cowperwood. This protagonist relentlessly maneuvers for wealth without scruples or compassion, first marrying an affluent widow and then embezzling funds. When stock markets crash, his lies are exposed, and he is used as a scapegoat for the corruption of others. Both a betrayer and the betrayed, the brutal reality of his later success after rising and falling into jail is the embodiment of greed in the American success story. Dreiser relates this 1912 tale with a masterful use of naturalism that provides an unapologetic social critique through the character of Frank, an overwhelming and even haunting American businessman. The first volume of his "Trilogy of Desire", this novel was followed by Dreiser's 1914 novel "The Titan" and his final novel "The Stoic" published in 1947. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.
