Summary "The Deluge" by David Graham Phillips is a novel written during the early 20th century, exploring themes of ambition, finance, and societal class structures. The story centers around Matthew Blacklock, a determined man who rises through the ranks of high finance against the backdrop of a struggling American society dominated by wealthy elites. The opening of the book introduces Matthew Blacklock's character, his self-assertive nature, and his ambitions in the financial world. He reflects on his past, acknowledging his humble beginnings and asserting that he has built his reputation through individual effort and assertiveness. As the narrative unfolds, we see his interactions with other influential figures in finance, illustrating the cutthroat nature of this domain. Notably, he expresses a desire to elevate his status within society by aligning with the more "respectable" circles, showcasing his aspirations and the obstacles he faces in achieving them. The opening sets the stage for a tale that promises a blend of personal ambition, romance, and the moral complexities of wealth and power. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
