ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
“Trust” by Hernán Diaz is a multi-layered novel that explores themes of wealth, power, identity, and solitude through the lives of Benjamin Rask and Helen Brevoort. Benjamin, a wealthy financier, thrives on crises and builds an empire, but his detachment from society isolates him. Helen, an intellectual, seeks independence but is constrained by societal expectations and her marriage. The novel delves into the complexities of their relationship, the consequences of wealth, and the pursuit of personal identity, all set against a backdrop of historical financial turmoil. The narrative challenges perceptions of truth and explores the tension between public and private lives.
