Stoikas

"Stoic" is the third and final part of Theodore Dreiser's "trilogy of desire," based on the life story of American millionaire C. Yerkes, who played a significant role in the development of the public transportation system in Chicago and the London Underground. 
The main character, Frank Kauperwood, moves his activities to London, deciding to engage in the construction of subway lines. The hero, as before, throws himself from one struggle to another, overcoming serious obstacles, remaining at the top of the financial Olympus until the end of his life.
