Pörssiylimys: Erään amerikalaisen miljoonamiehen elämäntarina

A satirical chronicle traces the life of heir Robert van Rensselaer, raised in extreme wealth and catered to by a retinue of servants, tutors, and indulgences. The narrative follows his privileged upbringing, reckless youthful pleasures, a passionate country romance that ends in family confrontation, extended European travels of luxury and dissipation, and a brief attempt at higher education before he returns to New York to enter society and business. Throughout, the account examines the social rituals, moral blind spots, and financial entanglements of upper-class life, moving episodically from childhood pampering to adult habits formed by leisure, credit, and public scrutiny.
