The novel in verse that inspired the sensational West End and
Off-Broadway play, The Lehman Trilogy is the story of a family and
a company that changed the world. On a cold September morning in
1844 a young man from Bavaria stands on a New York dockside,
dreaming of a new life in the new world. Sensing opportunity in the
Deep South, he opens a textile shop in Alabama, and then he and his
two brothers begin investing in anything and everything that will
turn a profit, from cotton to coal to railroads to oil to
airplanes. 163 years later, the Lehman Brothers firm spectacularly
collapses into bankruptcy, and triggers the largest financial
crisis in history. Spanning three generations and 150 years, The
Lehman Trilogy is a moving epic that tells the story of modern
capitalism through the saga of the Lehman brothers and their
descendants. Surprising and exciting, brilliant and inventive,
Stefano Massini's masterpiece - like Hamilton - is a story of
immigration, ambition, and success. It is the story of America
itself, from a daring and original perspective.
