The Financier
Classic Fiction
Based on the life of flamboyant financier C.T. Yerkes, Dreiser’s portrayal of the unscrupulous magnate Cowperwood embodies the idea that behind every great fortune there is a crime. You don’t read Dreiser for literary finesse, but his great intensity and keen journalistic eye give this portrait a powerful reality.
