Gold / L'Or

«Gold» — one of the most famous novels by Blaise Cendrars. Its hero — a real person, one of the pioneers of the American West. Johann August Sutter fled his native Switzerland to escape creditors and significantly contributed to the development of California, which was then uncharted. He became one of the richest men in America but was ruined when gold was found on his lands.

Using the adventure novel genre, Cendrars created a tragic epic of the New World. It is a story of justice, greed, the gold rush, and divine providence.
