About the author

Naturalistic novels of American writer and editor Theodore Herman Albert Dreiser portray life as a struggle against ungovernable forces. Value of his portrayed characters lies in their persistence against all obstacles, not their moral code, and literary situations more closely resemble studies of nature than tales of choice and agency; this American novelist and journalist so pioneered the naturalist school.

[Vladimir Znamensky · Rating 5 out of 5]

I’ve heard that it’s a wonderful book. So, it’s true. I was pleasantly surprised.
The most interesting thing is how the author managed to strike a balance between the ordinary life and Frank’s financial strategies. As a rule, I come across two types of similar books: 1) 90% is a romantic story about a pair of lovers; 10% is about law, economy or something like that; 2) the situation is vice versa.
But in this case the author incorporated personal and family problems in professional part of Frank’s life so naturally that you don’t lose interest until the very end. It would be nice and interesting for everyone. Not just for lawyers and financiers.
I should have described what the book’s about, but I don’t want to deprive anyone of the joy of reading.
