Die Reichen sind anders

Susan Howatch

Bestseller britanske spisateljice Susan Howatch, prvi dio Van Zale serije. Epska saga o ambicioznoj Engleskinji Dinah Slade i moćnom bankaru Paulu Van Zaleu na Wall Streetu 1920-ih do 1940-ih.

Radnja se proteže od „ludih dvadesetih“ preko Velike depresije do Drugog svjetskog rata, uglavnom u New Yorku i Londonu. U središtu je mlada, senzualna i izuzetno ambiciozna Engleskinja Dinah Slade koja želi spasiti obiteljsko imanje i izgraditi vlastito carstvo. Ona se upušta u strastvenu vezu s moćnim američkim bankarom Paulom Van Zaleom, čovjekom dovoljno starim da joj bude otac.

Njihova ljubav pokreće lavinu spletki, ljubomore, izdaja i borbe za vlast unutar bankarskog carstva Van Zale. Howatch majstorski prepleće privatne strasti s javnim financijskim i političkim previranjima. Roman je nadahnut antičkim trokutom Julije Cezar – Kleopatra – Marko Antonije, premještenim u svijet Wall Streeta.

Kroz više naratora Howatch stvara bogat, napet i karakterološki snažan portret bogataša čiji su životi drugačiji – i opasniji – od običnih. Epski roman o novcu, moći, ljubavi i cijeni uspjeha.
