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.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Sexy, outrageous and irresistible, Tycoon is Harold Robbins at his rip-roaring best.
Jack Lear rises from a modest Jewish background to take on the WASP world, but never quite feels he's succeeded in his ambition to be accepted as one of them. Making his fortune as a pioneering radio and television broadcaster and founding a landmark network isn't enough - nor is the money, fame and women who go with it. He continues to hunger for what he cannot have.
Here is a tale that only Harold Robbins could tell: of Jack's torrid relationship with his first wife, a WASP social heiress; of his affairs with everybody from chamber maids to duchesses; of his second marriage to a world-class beauty and society figure; and ultimately of his life-long struggle to make his network No. 1, and to give it a sense of class that sets it apart from all the others.
