Theodore DreiserA defiant critique of American capitalism
A MASTER OF GRITTY NATURALISM, Theodore Dreiser explores the corruption of the American dream in "The Financier."

Dreiser's 1912 classic remains an unsparing social critique as well as a devastating character study of one of the most unforgettable American businessmen in twentieth-century literature.
