Fortuna

Originally published in 1898, this gripping novel by financial journalist Clews offers a rare insider's view of the cutthroat world of stock speculation and market manipulation in late 19th century America. The story follows the fortunes of Fortuna, a brilliant and beautiful young woman who rises to the top of the New York Stock Exchange through her own wits and charm, but must navigate a treacherous web of personal rivalries, corporate intrigue, and legal battles to protect her position. Clews' witty and insightful prose, combined with his intimate knowledge of Wall Street, make this novel a classic of American literature and a must-read for anyone interested in finance.
