{"product_id":"the-financier-penguin-classics","title":"The Financier (Penguin Classics)","description":"\u003cp\u003eA master of gritty naturalism  Theodore Dreiser explores the corruption of the American dream in The Financier.  Frank Cowperwood  a fiercely ambitious businessman  emerges as the very embodiment of greed as he relentlessly seeks satisfaction in wealth  women  and power. As Cowperwood deals and double-deals  betrays and is in turn betrayed  his rise and fall come to represent the American success story stripped down to brutal realities-a struggle for spoils without conscience or pity. Dreisers 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.
