| Summary | "Pörssiylimys: Erään amerikalaisen miljoonamiehen elämäntarina" by Upton Sinclair is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative revolves around the life of Robert van Rensselaer, an American millionaire whose life story unfolds against the backdrop of wealth, privilege, and the societal dynamics of his time. Through the lens of Robert’s experiences, the book delves into themes of class disparity, personal ambition, and the moral dilemmas faced by those in power. The opening portion of the story introduces the circumstances surrounding Robert's birth and his upbringing in a wealthy family. The narrative provides insight into his father's lofty aspirations for him and the lavish lifestyle that envelops his early years, filled with privilege and indulgence. As Robert matures, he is depicted as an amiable yet somewhat reckless young man, enjoying the high life with expensive tastes and pursuits. The text hints at a significant turning point as Robert faces familial expectations and the complex realities of adulthood, including the tensions brought on by his father's guidance and the struggles within society that may soon entangle him. Throughout this introduction, Sinclair sets the stage for Robert’s evolution from a carefree youth to a man entrenched in the intricacies of wealth and the social order.
