Bog beskrivelse
In The Titan, Theodore Dreiser explores the ambitious and determined character of Algernon Cowperwood, a financier navigating the complex and evolving social and economic landscape of post-prison Chicago. The novel delves into Cowperwood's relentless pursuit of wealth and power as he strives to rebuild his life after his release from the Eastern District Penitentiary. With themes of ambition, moral compromise, and the American Dream, the story follows his journey as he seeks a fresh start in a city full of opportunities.At the novel's start, Cowperwood, accompanied by his mistress Aileen, leaves behind his tarnished past in Philadelphia and arrives in Chicago, ready to capitalize on the rapid growth and potential of the city. His sharp business acumen and charismatic nature quickly allow him to gain the attention of influential figures in the financial world, setting the stage for his ambition to dominate the city's street-railway system. However, Cowperwood's rise is complicated by the social stigma of his past, and as he moves forward, the novel explores the personal and professional challenges he faces in his quest for success, including betrayal, infidelity, and the isolation that comes with his relentless drive.
