Titanium. Dreiser T.

“My desires - first of all” - that was the motto of Frank Alderon Caucerwood and the protagonist of the second book “Titan” from the “Desire Trilogy” by the American writer Theodore Dreiser, published in 1912. The novel tells about the life of a talented financier in Philadelphia, who played a significant role in the development of a public transport system in Chicago and London. From the very beginning of the book, Dreiser shows how the surrounding financial and economic environment from childhood forms the personality of a businessman and an exchange dealer, for which all funds are good in reaching power and wealth. The book tells how private life and business not only closely intertwined, but also affect each other. On the one hand, Frank and his women, his love of painting and art and attempts to be accepted in high society, and, on the other hand, the Unified Business.
