Résumé

Résumé : "The Titan", penned by the influential American author Theodore Dreiser, is the second novel in his compelling trilogy 'The Trilogy of Desire'. Renowned for his seminal work "An American Tragedy", Dreiser continues to confront the dark underbelly of the American Dream in this gripping narrative. In the center of the novel's action stands Frank Cowperwood, a bold and ruthless financier whose relentless ambition propels him to the pinnacle of Chicago society. Inspired by real-life magnates, Cowperwood's life is a testament to the relentless pursuit of wealth and status, as well as the moral compromises that often accompany such endeavors. Dreiser paints an incisive picture of the early 20th-century capitalist society, examining the intricate workings of power, corruption, and societal hierarchy. His exploration of Cowperwood's character is unforgiving, yet nuanced, revealing the flawed nature of the 'self-made man' archetype. "The Titan" is a profound commentary on ambition, materialism, and the human condition, wrapped in a compelling narrative. For those who appreciate character-driven narratives and social critique, Dreiser's work offers a timeless and poignant exploration of the complexities of ambition and the cost of success.
