The book tells the story of Lou's childhood as a serf of business tycoons, to his involvement as a teenage dissident in the Civil War and moving to the Brague, to his rise to political power as a young adult, and eventual turn into a wealthy businessman in his own right, the thing he hated most as a child. It explores many issues with Helsh society, including the social darwinist dogma of many politicians, and poses many interesting philosophical questions, no matter your position on the political spectrum. Controversial upon its release, the book has since become very popular and has been applauded for its accurate depiction of life in all classes, and has been credited with bridging the long-time gap between the wealthy and the poor in the Hellands.
