Prvo umiru snovi

Harold Robbins

Dreams Die First (1960) follows the rise and fall of Garth McRae, an ambitious young man in the world of Hollywood and New York's elite in the 1950s. Born into poverty, Garth uses charm and ruthlessness to break into the film industry.

Born into poverty, Garth uses charm and ruthlessness to break into the film industry. His life is marked by passionate love, intrigue, and a struggle for power. He falls in love with Lora, a talented actress whose dreams of fame fade under the weight of the industry and personal weaknesses. As Garth builds an empire, he becomes entangled in a web of corruption, betrayal, and organized crime. His quest for success leads him into conflict with powerful producers and gangsters, while Lora sinks into addiction, torn between love and her own ambitions.

The novel explores the cost of the American dream, where dreams of fame and fortune often lead to moral and emotional breakdown. Garth's story culminates in a tragic struggle to preserve what is most important to him, as he discovers that success does not bring happiness.

Robbins' style, full of sensationalism, eroticism, and drama, brings to life the glamorous but dark world of Hollywood. The novel reflects his ability to capture the pulse of the era through complex characters and ruthless social mechanisms.

As one of Robbins's seminal novels, the work cements his status as the king of popular literature. It emphasizes themes of ambition and failure, continuing the tradition of The Stone for Danny Fisher. Readers loved the drama and passion, but critics were sometimes critical of the excessive melodrama. Nevertheless, the novel was a bestseller, confirming Robbins' appeal.
