📱 eBook en inglés THE MAN WHO SOLD IRON

"The Man Who Sold Iron – The con artist who sold the Eiffel Tower twice" tells the incredible story of Count Victor Lustig, the greatest con man who ever lived. In 1925, reading a newspaper article about the rusting state of the Eiffel Tower, Lustig had a brilliant idea. He posed as a government official and invited scrap metal dealers to a secret meeting, claiming the city could no longer afford the towers maintenance and wanted to sell it for scrap.
Biographer Simon Con details the psychological mastery Lustig used to dupe Andre Poisson, a dealer desperate for social status. Lustig not only got the money but fled to Austria. When the embarrassment kept Poisson from going to the police, Lustig returned a month later to sell the tower again to a different dealer."The Man Who Sold Iron" is a masterclass in social engineering. It explores the vulnerability of human greed and vanity, showing how a confident lie is often more believable than a complicated truth.
