Dreiser T. Titan

Dreiser T. Titan

Author Dreiser T.
Title Titan
Description Theodore Dreiser’s The Titan is the second part of The Trilogy of Desire, continuing the story of Frank Cowperwood after the events of The Financier. In this novel, the protagonist brings his energy to Chicago, which becomes an arena of business rivalry and political deals. Cowperwood thinks on a grand scale, acts without sentimentality, and treats the city as material that can be bent to his will.

Dreiser wrote about capitalism as a force that changes people and the structure of urban life. At the centre of the novel stands the question of what happens to a person when the pursuit of power becomes his main mode of existence. Cowperwood’s personal ties obey the same logic as his business affairs. He wants possession and control, always pushing the limits of his influence.

Theodore Dreiser was an American writer and journalist associated with the naturalist school. His novels examine the power of desire and the pressure of social environment on the individual. Dreiser wrote about money and morality with rare directness for his time, which often made his books controversial. The Trilogy of Desire is considered one of the important American novel cycles about business.
