El financiero : Trilogía del Deseo I

El financiero relata la historia de Frank Cowperwood, un hombre nacido para el éxito en el mundo de los negocios de la florenciente sociedad americana de los años sesenta y setenta del siglo xix. Su extremada ambición, el gusto por el lujo, las mujeres y el deseo de poder conducen al protagonista a una especulación despiadada, para lo que se apoya en banqueros, financieros y funcionarios, cuyo desfile a lo largo de la novela muestra un auténtico catálogo de los personajes que encarnaron la quimera del sueño americano. Un relato que, inspirado en el magnate estadounidense Charles Tyson Yerkes, promotor de la mayor parte de los sistemas de transporte público de Chicago y Londres, retrata con fidelidad el mundo de los negocios de entonces aunque también de ahora, pues en su crítica realista y cruda percibimos que, a pesar del tiempo pasado, muchas cosas apenas han cambiado. El financiero es la primera parte de la Trilogía del deseo, de la que forman parte El titán (1914) y El estoico (1947).
