Harold Robbins

Don't Fall in Love with a Stranger (1948), Harold Robbins' first novel, follows Frank Kane, an orphan from the poor New York City neighborhood of Hell's Kitchen. Growing up in a Catholic orphanage, Frank discovers his Jewish heritage, which isolates him f

Faced with the cruelty of the streets, Frank turns to crime, quickly becoming a powerful player in the underworld. His rise is marked by ambition but also ruthlessness - he rules the city with an iron fist, reveling in sex, power and luxury. In parallel, Frank's search for love and belonging leads him to Julie, a girl who represents hope for redemption. But his past and the dangerous world of crime threaten to destroy everything that is important to him.

The story is intertwined with themes of betrayal, passion and the struggle for identity, as Frank tries to reconcile his dark impulses with the longing for a better life. The novel, full of drama and sensationalism, reflects Robbins' style - raw, erotic and focused on the world of power. Inspired in part by the author's own life, the work explores the American dream through the prism of crime and moral dilemmas.

As Robbins' debut, the novel set the tone for his career, mixing melodrama and explicitness, which made it a hit. It influenced popular literature, defining the genre of the sensationalist novel. Readers loved its dynamism and emotion, but critics often found it too vulgar. Nevertheless, sales of millions of copies made it a classic.
