【内容介绍】：
Augustus Melmotte is a foreign-born financier with a mysterious past. When he moves his business and his family to London, the city's upper crust begins buzzing with rumors about him - and a host of characters ultimately find their lives changed because of him.
Lady Carbury is a widow living in straitened circumstances with her handsome but dissolute son Sir Felix and her modest, intelligent daughter Henrietta. Sir Felix has gambled away his inheritance, and his mother supports all of them by writing novels about famous women of history. Her close friend Mr. Broune, a newspaper publisher, reviews her books favorably because of his regard for her, and clearly wants their relationship to be even closer.
At the gambling club he frequents, Felix hears his friends say that Melmotte's daughter, Marie, will have a huge dowry when she marries. Returning home, he impulsively tells his mother that he will try to retrieve the family's fortunes by marrying Marie. The Carburys are invited to a grand ball given at Melmotte's Grosvenor Square mansion. There Felix, an experienced ladies' man, meets Marie, a trusting and inexperienced girl, and quickly sweeps her off her feet.
Paul Montague is a young engineer and formerly the ward of the Carburys' cousin Roger, a country squire who is considered a kind and decent man by Paul and everyone who knows him. Roger has long been in love with Henrietta but has never made his feelings known, as she has only recently come of age. Paul, having spent several years working in the American Southwest, has returned to England to raise money for a railroad he and his American partner plan to build from Utah to Mexico. They are counting on Melmotte to arrange a public offering of stock for their company. Paul and Henrietta meet when the Carburys visit Roger's estate and Paul, unaware that Roger plans to propose to Henrietta, becomes romantically interested in her
这部作品是英国著名作家安东尼特普洛(Anthony Trollope) 的作品改编，他的另一部作品世纪之歌（Dance to the music of time）也曾经在公视播出。
特普洛擅长描写观察人生百态，这本小说描写了人性中的荣誉、腐败、正直、与贪婪，点出了十九世纪末期社会剧烈的变动中，人心道德也随之摇摆的局面。英国首席编剧Andrew Davis亲自操刀(他的作品包括了傲慢与偏见、爱玛、锦绣佳人)，将这部讽刺小说做了最佳的詮释。
故事由暴发户Melmotte带著家人从欧陆回到伦敦开始说起，这个在欧陆大发横财的家庭在伦敦的社交圈中引起了议论纷纷，贵族们对这样一个粗俗但又富可敌国的人不知道该奉承还是鄙视。年轻又风流的菲力一开始就打定主意追求Melmotte的千金玛丽，他需要玛丽雄厚的嫁妆支付赌债，菲力的妹妹爱上了美国回来的工程师保罗，但是一名由美国追来伦敦的神秘女子，似乎透露了保罗有一段不为人知的过去，这一些形形色色的人物构成的一幅社会的缩影。
