Rich man, Poor man is the immensely popular and multi Emmy Award-winning adaptation if Irwin Shaw`s best-selling novel that hit the small screen in 1976. It charts the lives of the first generation immigrant jordache family - and particularly brothers Tom and Rudy - through a period of tumultuous social change in mid 20th Century America. Book II takes up the both heart-wrenching and heart-warming story where Book I left off, and continues to chronicle such human themes as, power, ambition, revenge, fame and most importantly friendship. With richly drawn characters set against a colourful cultural backdrop, Rich man, Poor man Book II is a wonderful conclusion to this epic saga - the saga that well and truly put the concept of the mini-series on the television map.
