Synopsis

Gobseck began as a cabin boy and worked his way up while traveling around the world. He became rich and a miser. His philosophy of never helping anyone because "adversity is the greatest of all teachers" was well known. He also believed that all the peoples of the world were really very much alike because money was the greatest common denominator.

Présentation de l'éditeur

The interesting story of Gobseck, a money-lender, his life and business. Hardships and penury faced in early life have made him a miser.

Thought-provoking!
