About
A través del ascenso y caída de tres generaciones de la familia Lehman, esta original y premiada novela en verso cuenta la historia del capitalismo moderno. Fue trasladada con gran éxito a los escenarios de Broadway y el West End.
En 1844, Henry Lehman, hijo de un comerciante judío de ganado, deja su Bavaria natal y llega a Nueva York en busca de una vida mejor. Dotado de buen olfato para las oportunidades se establece en Alabama, donde fundará un negocio textil. Más tarde, sus hermanos Emanuel y Mayer invertirán en cualquier cosa que genere beneficio: algodón, carbón, ferrocarriles... El negocio familiar comenzará así su andadura hacia el terreno cada vez más abstracto de las finanzas, que culminará el hundimiento de Lehman Brothers en 2008, de catastróficas consecuencias mundiales. La Trilogía Lehman, obra maestra de Stefano Massini es una historia americana de ambición y éxito, pero también de arrogancia y excesos; una epopeya profundamente original, sorprendente y conmovedora.
Magnificent in scope, internationally lauded, and transcendent, the novel in verse that inspired the sensational West End and Broadway play of the same name. The Lehman Trilogy follows the epic rise and fall of three generations of that infamous family and through them tells the story of American ambition and hubris.
After leaving his native Bavaria, Henry Lehman arrives in America determined to make a better life. Sensing opportunity in the Deep South, he opens a textile shop in Alabama, laying the foundation for a dynasty that will come to dominate and define modern capitalism. Emanuel and his brother Mayer begin investing in anything and everything that will turn a profit, from cotton to coal to railroads to oil to airplanes—even at the expense of the very nation that forged them.
Spanning three generations and 150 years, The Lehman Trilogy is a moving epic that dares to tell the story of modern capitalism through the saga of the Lehman brothers and their descendants. Surprising and exciting, brilliant and inventive, Stefano Massini’s masterpiece—like Hamilton—is a story of immigration, ambition, and success; it is the story of America itself from a daring and original perspective.
