The novel “Rich Man, Poor Man” (1969) is a gripping story about the complicated destinies of three children of Axel Jordach, whose paths diverge after their father’s death: Rudy, the family and school favorite; Tom, a bully and hooligan whom his parents didn’t particularly favor; and the proud beauty Gretchen, all trying to find happiness. They’ll face a difficult journey full of hardships and obstacles. For someone, a dream comes closer, while for someone the ideal they’ve already reached loses all meaning—the illusion fades. This audiobook reminds you that for happiness you don’t just have to fight, but also be able to see it. The novel served as the basis for two wonderful TV series—an American and a domestic one—that became hugely popular.
