Published in 1899, just after his unexpected death, The Market-Place became one of Frederic’s most successful novels. It offers psychological insight into its hero—the late-Victorian equivalent of Gordon Gekko—an amoral London businessman named Joel Thorpe, caring for only two things in the world: money and power. He prefers to hoard the former and spend the latter.

A propos de l’auteur
Harold Frederic (1856-1898) was an American writer. As a journalist, he reached the peak of his profession in 1884 as the London correspondent of the New York Times. But he is best known for his novels, which display his talent for realism. The Damnation of Theron Ware (1896) and Gloria Mundi (1898) are considered to be his finest works.
