Theodore Dreiser

Theodore Dreiser was born in Terre Haute, Indiana, on August 27, 1871. After a poor and difficult childhood, Dreiser broke into newspaper work in Chicago in 1892. A successful career as a magazine writer in New York during the late 1890s was followed by his first novel, Sister Carrie (1900). When this work made little impact, Dreiser published no fiction until Jennie Gerhardt in 1911. There then followed a decade and a half of major work in a number of literary forms, which was capped in 1925 by An American Tragedy, a novel that brought him universal acclaim. Dreiser was increasingly preoccupied by philosophical and political issues during the last two decades of his life. He died in Los Angeles on December 28, 1945.

Samenvatting

The Financier, a novel is the first volume of the Trilogy of Desire, which includes The Titan and The Stoic. Frank Cowperwood makes his first money by buying cheap soaps on the market and selling them to a grocer for profit. Cowperwood marries an affluent widow and over the years, he starts misusing municipal funds with the aid of the City Treasurer. The Great Chicago Fire redounds to a stock market crash, prompting him to be bankrupt and exposed. The Financier follows Cowperwood through trial, his reemergence in the financial world and a move West and a new start. Theodore Dreiser was an American novelist and journalist who the naturalist school and is known for portraying characters whose value lies not in their moral code, but in their persistence against all obstacles, and literary situations that more closely resemble studies of nature than tales of choice and agency.
