Rich Man, Poor Man

Irwin Shaw's classic novel of the American Dream.

This is the story of two brothers whose contrasting natures reflect the turmoil of post-war America. Rudy is the rich man - a romantic who would let no one stand between him and success. Tom is the poor man - the black sheep of his family on the run from his violent past.

Ranging from Manhattan in the effervescent post-war years, to Hollywood, bathed in uncertain sunshine, and to the deceptive peace of the Mediterranean coast, 'Rich Man, Poor Man' is an explosive and passionate novel.
