Description

Eldorado (Hardcover) by Michael Pye.'Eldorado is the story of the rise and fall of a financial empire, part of that vast invisible empire of money that rules our lives in ore ways than we know. It is the story of Pieter van Helding, the brilliant young tycoon with a tainted past who bets the survival of the world against his own success - and loses. Of his wife Katherine, child of the ancient banking house of de Grunwald, for whom the Rothchilds are upstarts. Of his sister Marisia, whose astonishing beauty takes her to the heights of stardom and the depths of despair, and of the unholy alliance between her and her brother. It is the epic story of money in our time, and of the men who manipulate it - the speculators who rigged the gold market, changed the London skyline, and bought and sold Hollywood dreams; the bankers who took the flood of Arab oil wealth to prop up dying republics, and rocked the foundation of world finance; the Mafiosi whose money seeped like a corruption into the lifeblood of international business.' The dust jacket has light to medium general wear but price unclipped. The book foxing nut remains tight and bright.
