Synopsis
Magnífica en su alcance, internacionalmente elogiada y trascendente, la novela en verso que inspiró el sensacional obra del teatro del West End y Off-Broadway del mismo nombre. La Trilogía de Lehman sigue el ascenso y la caída épicos de tres generaciones de esa infame familia y a través de ellos cuenta la historia de la ambición y la arrogancia estadounidenses. Después de dejar su Bavaria natal, Henry Lehman llega a América decidido a hacer una vida mejor. Al percibir una oportunidad en el sur profundo, abre una tienda textil en Alabama, sentando las bases para una dinastía que dominará y definirá el capitalismo moderno. Emanuel y su hermano Mayer comienzan a invertir en todo lo que genere ganancias, desde algodón hasta carbón, ferrocarriles, petróleo y aviones, incluso a expensas de la nación que los falsificó. Con tres generaciones y 150 años, La Trilogía de Lehman es una conmovedora epopeya que se atreve a contar la historia del capitalismo moderno a través de la saga de los hermanos Lehman y sus descendientes. Sorprendente y emocionante, brillante e inventiva, la obra maestra de Stefano Massini, como Hamilton, es una historia de inmigración, ambición y éxito; Es la historia de América misma desde una perspectiva atrevida y original.
