About this audiobook
"The Financier" is a novel by Theodore Dreiser published in 1912 It is the first book of an epic series called the Trilogy of Desire, based on the life of Charles T. Yerkes, an American transportation magnate. The other two volumes are "The Titan" (1914) and "The Stoic", which was completed by Dreiser’s wife after his death and published posthumously in 1947.
"The Financier" begins the saga of Frank Algernon Cowperwood. Driven, vital, and unscrupulous, he sees himself bound for greatness. The novel describes his career in the brokerage business, his advantageous but ultimately doomed marriage, his deals with corrupt politicians, and his relationship with his mistress, whose father eventually ruins Cowperwood and sends him to prison. Out of prison in little more than a year, Cowperwood recoups his fortune during the panic of 1873 and moves to Chicago.
The remaining two novels follow Cowperwood in Chicago and to London through a series of shady deals, love affairs, and intrigues until, after his death, his empire collapses and his life is seen to have been meaningless.
