The Rise of Silas Lapham

First published in book form in 1885, this timeless epic of a self-made man was the first important novel to center on the American businessman. Howells's Silas Lapham is a man of conscience who realizes his folly, but who is also an ambitious man who lets his aspirations lead him to hazard his fortune and his family's happiness for status in a society that would never accept him.
