Tycoon

Présentation de l'éditeur Jack Lear rises from a modest Jewish background to take on the WASP world, without ever quite succeeding in his ambition to become accepted as one of them. Although he gets his own back by seducing their daughters and wives, and marrying two WASP princesses, he is still hungry for more. Biographie de l'auteur Born in 1916 in New York City, Harold Robbins was a millionaire by the time he was twenty. He lost his fortune before the outbreak of WWII, but his successful career as a novelist would once again make him incredibly wealthy. His novels often mirrored his own experiences, and were peopled by the many characters he met. He died in 1997.
