The Stoic
De (autor): Theodore Dreiser
The conclusion to the trilogy based on a real railway tycoon's life, with "an amazingly intricate description of high-rolling 19th-century finance" (The Wall Street Journal).

Following The Financier and The Titan, the third novel follows Cowperwood as he heads across the sea to London for a chance to develop a new underground railway system. Though still married to his estranged wife, Aileen, he has found a new paramour in Berenice--among others. Doing what he does best, Frank puts his plans in motion to conquer London's transportation market, guaranteeing the bulk of the profits for himself.
