The Wolf of Wall Street 华尔街之狼 英文原版

The Wolf of Wall Street is a memoir that charts the meteoric rise and fall of Jordan Belfort, a former stockbroker who became a multi-millionaire by the time he was 31. Belfort’s story is one of greed, power, and excess – he made a fortune using illegal tactics and manipulative stock trading, whilst also ravaging his life with substance abuse. The book provides an insider’s perspective into the culture of Wall Street in the 1990s, where dealing in stocks was a high stakes game played by ruthless individuals. Belfort is unabashed in his descriptions of his party lifestyle, detailing wild nights of debauchery and drug use, as well as his relationships with a string of prostitutes. Despite his wealth, Belfort ultimately came crashing down, serving time in prison for fraud and leaving a trail of destruction behind him. This memoir is an enthralling read, and provides key insight into the darker side of finance culture.
