The Titan

The Titan, Dreiser’s 1914 sequel to The Financier, follows Cowperwood to Chicago with his new wife Aileen, where he decides to take over the street-railway system. Civic reform, mistresses, and the machinery of a rising city stand in his way. It is the middle panel of the Trilogy of Desire, broader and colder than the first.

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 expansive narrative more comfortable and enjoyable to read.

Rediscover the Chicago empire-building and restless desire of The Titan in a format thoughtfully crafted to be more inclusive for all readers.
