Harold Robbins

The novel The Dreamers (1949) by Harold Robbins, an American author known for his bestsellers, is an epic saga about the rise and fall of the film industry in America, from silent films to the Golden Age of Hollywood.

The story follows Johnny Edge, an ambitious young visionary who leaves his New York City slums to build a film empire. Johnny begins his career working for a small film company, but his talent and relentless ambition lead him to found his own studio, Magnum Pictures. With the help of friends like producer Peter Kessler and actress Dulcie Warren, Johnny struggles with financial risks, rivalries, and personal sacrifice.

The novel depicts the glamour and dark side of Hollywood—corruption, betrayal, and moral compromise. Johnny’s passionate relationship with Dulcie, as well as his conflicts with powerful magnates like Borden Pictures, provide dramatic twists. Over the decades, from the 1910s to the 1930s, the story chronicles the evolution of the film industry, including the transition to sound films.

Robbins’s dynamic style, with its emphasis on emotion, sex, and power, makes the novel appealing to a wide audience. The Dream Merchants explores the price of success and the dreams that drive people but also destroy their lives. Johnny's rise and fall reflect the American dream colored by greed and loss, making the work a classic saga of ambition and illusion.
