Classic Novel?

Priceless
In The Financier, Theodore Dreiser (1871-1945) tells the story of fictional financial tycoon, Frank Cowperwood. Cowperwood's businesses thrive but not without slights of hand.

Published in 1912, The Financier is one of America’s finest historical novels; read and re-read for close to a century of years. Dreiser's tale about double-dealing, egotism, and greed is just as relevant today as it was then.
