  • "In this sequel to Dreiser's novel The Financier, the author continues his exploration of the social and economic forces at play in the rise of the new class of super-rich capitalists in early twentieth-century America. Protagonist Frank Cowperwood attempts to leave his shameful past behind and settles in Chicago with his new wife. Will this quintessentially American act of self-reinvention succeed?"@en
  • "Druhá část trilogie sleduje finančníka, jak se pokouší na novém působišti monopolisticky ovládnout velké úseky podnikání. Koalice jeho nepřátel jednak vzbouří proti němu veřejné mínění, jednak přemůžejehoindividuálnídravostslučováním kapitálu. Tento děj proplétají finančníkovy milostné vztahy, stejně pochybné jako jeho finanční operace. Autor, třebas realisticky zachytil politický a hospodářský život USA na konci minulého,století,všaknenalezlměřítko, jak hodnotit události."
  • "The Titan presents a vivid, accurate picture of urban life in America at the turn of the twentieth century, when horses provided almost all the city's transportation, and there were no automobiles, buses, telephones, radios, phonographs, refrigerators, air-conditioning, or other amenities that are now taken for granted. -eNotes.com."@en
  • "Vol 2 of The trilogy of desire."
  • "In The Titan (1914), the second volume in Dreiser's Trilogy of Desire, which began with The Financier (1912) and finished with the posthumously published The Stoic (1947), the action shifts from Philadelphia to Chicago, where Frank Cowperwood plans to make himself the boss of the city's transportation system . . . by any means necessary."
  • "The Titan is the second volume in what the author called his "trilogy of desire", featuring the character of Frank Cowperwood, a powerful, irresistibly compelling man driven by his own need for power, beautiful women, and social prestige. Having married his former mistress, Aileen Butler, and moved to Chicago, Cowperwood almost succeeds in his dream of establishing a monopoly of all public utilities. Dissatisfaction with Aileen leads him, however, to a series of affairs with other women. When the Chicago citizenry frustrates his financial schemes, he departs for Europe with Berenice Fleming, the lovely daughter of the madam of a Louisville brothel. At last, Cowperwood experiences "the pathos of the discovery that even giants are but pigmies, and that an ultimate balance must be struck.""
