Condition: Very Good

Description: Reprint. VG+/G: DJ is complete but shows wear, mostly at edges, and staining. Book is tight and unread, with a bit of light spotting to edges of text block. The first volume of Dreiser's Trilogy of Desire, followed by "The Titan" (1914) and, much later, "The Stoic" (1947). Befitting its title, "The Financier" is a novel of politics and high finance. This reprint edition is surprisingly uncommon, especially with the illustrated jacket -- different from the text-only DJ adorning the Harper & Bros. edition. 780 pages.

Dreiser, Theodore. The Financier.. Harper & Brothers Publishers, New York, 1912.

Price: US$4500.00 + shipping

Description: First editions of the first novel of the author’s acclaimed Trilogy of Desire. Octavo, original cloth.ÂNear fine in a very good dust jacket with some unnecessary tape reinforcement to the verso with some bleedthrough. Rare in the original dust jacket. "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. 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.
