"The Titan" by Theodore Dreiser is a novel published in 1914. This sequel follows ruthless businessman Frank Cowperwood as he relocates to Chicago after prison, determined to dominate the city's street-railway system. Through financial manipulation and political alliances, he crushes opponents and rebuilds his fortune. Yet success proves hollow as society rejects him, his marriage crumbles amid infidelities, and his ultimate business ambitions remain frustratingly out of reach. A portrait of American ambition, power, and the price of both.
