作者简介
Edwin LeFèvre was trained as a mining engineer, but became a journalist at age nineteen. He began writing about Wall Street in 1897, and produced eight books, including The Making of a Stockbroker, during his fifty-three-year writing career.
He worked for the New York Sun, served as financial editor of Harper's Weekly, and wrote for the Saturday Evening Post.
He was appointed an Ambassador of the United States by President Howard Taft in 1909, serving in posts in a number of countries, including Italy, France, and Spain. At the end of his diplomatic career in 1913, Lefévre returned to his home in Vermont where he resumed his literary work, writing novels and contributing short stories for magazines such as The Saturday Evening Post and McClure's.
He was a celebrated finance author made most famous by his publication of the fictionalized story of Jesse Livermore, which first appeared in the Saturday Evening Post in 1922.
