About this book
Creators: Henry James (1843-1916) and Percy Lubbock (1879-1965) [Author of introduction, etc.] "The Ivory Tower" by Henry James is an unfinished novel posthumously published in 1917. Set in Gilded Age Newport, it explores the corrupting influence of enormous wealth left behind by two dying millionaires and former business partners. When Graham Fielder inherits a vast fortune from his uncle, he must navigate a world of unscrupulous fortune-seekers and tainted money. James intended this brooding work as a fierce attack on the plutocrats of his era, examining how great possessions carry darkness at their roots. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
