The Financier

The Financier, published in 1912, is the first volume of Dreiser’s Trilogy of Desire, which continues in The Titan and The Stoic. Frank Cowperwood, a Philadelphia man of money, learns the markets, the legislature, and the cost of wanting more. Dreiser treats capital as a character with appetites.

This special edition has been created with accessibility in mind. It features a fully adjustable coloured overlay system designed to support readers with Irlen Syndrome, dyslexia, or visual stress. By reducing visual strain and allowing each reader to customise their experience, this edition makes Theodore Dreiser’s acquisitive narrative more comfortable and enjoyable to read.

Rediscover the financial rise and Gilded Age appetite of The Financier in a format thoughtfully crafted to be more inclusive for all readers.
