America. Beginning of the twentieth century. Capitalism. Social inequality. Tragedy... Clyde Griffiths, having miraculously escaped persecution in Kansas City, finds himself in Lycurgus, where, taking advantage of his uncle's official position, he not only gets a managerial position in the factory, but also enters a high society and finds his love. It seemed that what else is needed for happiness?

The story of a young man from a lower class who longed for a luxurious life and wealth so much that he was ready to pay a very high price to achieve it all, never ceasing to constantly develop the reader's imagination, soul and mind for a century.
