Set in ancient Babylon,the greatest city at that time,The Curse is a touching story of how just such a scenario played out as the heir to great wealth grew up just like many of the spoilt brats in our modern world today,not knowing the struggles his grandfather went through. The author had tears in his eyes as he took a journey back in time and reproduced this story from the classic book The Richest Man in Babylon and converted it from old English into today's modern version of English. We hope the reader would be equally touched and inspired by this parable written by George S Clason during the period of The Great Depression in the 1930s. His Richest Man book is acknowledged by many as the most inspiring book on wealth ever written.
