Blurb: “The Market-Place by Harold Frederic is a 1899 novel published posthumously by Frederick A. Stokes Company. This first edition hardcover features illustrations by Harrison Fisher. The story follows Joel Thorpe, a formidable London financier who rises to immense wealth and power through bold business ventures, only to grapple with the emptiness of success and the search for purpose beyond material gain. The novel delves into themes of ambition, ethics, and the human cost of capitalism, offering a sharp critique of Gilded Age society. It was one of the best-selling books in the United States in 1899 and is considered a significant work of American literature.”
