“The Financier” is the first book of the “Trilogy of Desire” by the outstanding American writer Theodore Dreiser.
The novel’s main hero is Frank Cowperwood. Holding to the principle that in life and business, to achieve one’s goals any means are good, he very quickly—through bribery and unlawful machinations—becomes an outstanding financier and enters the circle of the largest financial magnates of Pennsylvania. A young, attractive wife, the birth of children, the purchase of a prestigious mansion on the “calling card of the city”—Third Street. It seems—here it is—the embodiment of the American dream in action. But for a man who loves women, risky operations, and money, Cowperwood wants more.
What such desires sometimes lead to—you can learn by listening to the audiobook version of the novel “The Financier,” in the wonderful performance by Alexander Evgenyevich Kotov.
