Overview'Vanity, vanity', Saith the Preacher is the 9-th biographical sketch of Twelve Men by Theodore Dreiser. The reader will find the story of epic success, luxurious lifestyle, intrigues, manipulations and rivalry games within financial circles -- all around one of the most disreputable and publicized financial scandal of that time. The central figure of Mr. X --- is considerately left incognito, but now can be found in the archives under the name of Josef G. Robin, a successful financier, president of the Northern Bank and director of the Carnegie Trust Company. The novel features some of the historical references of this event directly from the archived New York publications of 1911. As well, it contains a collection of exclusive visual essays of famous art works of Charles Hoffbauer that illustrate the period. The book also includes a short glance at the figure of the author through the prism of his contemporaries.
