The Dream Maker
Author(s): Jean-Christophe Rufin
Based on the true story of Jacques Coeur, The Dream Maker is the story of a Steve Jobs of the Middle Ages. Coeur was the King of France's visionary First Banker who, with his tours of the Far East, his public criticism of the Crusades, and his efforts to develop trade and an operable financial system, contributed to bringing France out of darkness and toward the Renaissance and modernity. The Dream Maker combines the power of a picaresque novel, the precision of a biography and the melancholic charm of a confession.
