A large-scale, realistic work that details the workings of the financial system and life in American society in the late 19th century. The author explores the nature of success, ambition, and human will, showing how the personality of a person is shaped by the power of money to influence and freedom.

Theodore Dreiser was inspired to create this novel, which became one of the most accurate portraits of capitalist America, by the fate of Chicago millionaire Charles Yerkes, who amassed a vast fortune but never achieved happiness.

Speculation, skillful manipulation, and cunning scams—Frank Cowperwood dreams of wealth and will stop at nothing to achieve it. The Civil War, the Chicago Fire of 1871, and the subsequent stock market crash are not obstacles for him, but only new challenges. But will his ambitions lead him into a trap? And will his beloved abandon him when everyone turns their backs on him?
