Synopsis
A sharp, darkly funny glimpse into a man’s money‑driven world and the family it unsettles.
Douglas William Jerrold’s A Man Made of Money satirizes wealth, deception, and social pretensions through the antics of Mr. Jericho. As debts mount and pride clashes with reality, the house becomes a stage for schemes, vanity, and a changing sense of worth. The story blends biting humor with a moral undertone, inviting readers to question what money can buy—and what it can ruin.
In a world of shopping, dinners, duels, and social rituals, the characters chase appearances even as their fortunes threaten to collapse. The novella moves from domestic squabbles to public strife, exposing the fragility of wealth and the price of living beyond one’s means.
- Witty, suspenseful scenes that hinge on money, influence, and social standing.
- Vivid portraits of family dynamics, marriage, and the lure of luxury.
- Satirical takes on debt, inheritance, and the performance of wealth in society.
- Sharp dialogue and social critique that read with modern, relev ant echoes.
Ideal for readers of classic satire, Victorian social critique, and character-driven tales about money’s grip on life.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book opens a window on Victorian England's social and material culture through the lens of a man who convinced society he was wealthy and was subsequently burdened by the expectations it created. The author adeptly conveys the economic anxieties of the era and subtly challenges the reader to question how such behaviors and aspirations continue to impact society today. The book offers a humorous yet insightful look into a unique historical figure within the broader context of Victorian ideas about wealth and social status, further inviting contemplation on the consequences of an insatiable desire for material possessions. Ultimately, this book illuminates the profound insight that true personal satisfaction and fulfillment cannot be found in the relentless pursuit of money.
