FOREWORD My only excuse for offering these very brief pictures of the City of New York as it was between and or ', or thereabout, is that they are of the very substance of the city I knew in my early adventurings in it. Also, and more particularly, they represent in part, at least, certain phases which at that time most arrested and appealed to me, and which now are fast vanishing or are no more.

Autorenporträt
Theodore Dreiser, born in 1871 in Terre Haute, Indiana, was a prominent American novelist and journalist. He became a key figure in the naturalist literary movement, known for his realistic portrayals of human life shaped by social and economic forces. His works often examined characters driven by ambition and desire, reflecting the deterministic views of naturalism.Dreiser began his career in journalism before turning to novels, with Sister Carrie (1900) and An American Tragedy (1925) being his most famous works. He explored dark aspects of American life, addressing poverty, class struggle, and industrialization's effects. His complex, morally ambiguous characters marked a departure from idealized portrayals of society.Despite facing criticism for his controversial depictions, Dreiser had a lasting impact on American literature. His works challenged societal norms and offered a deeper, more nuanced view of human nature. He passed away in 1945, leaving behind a legacy as a pivotal figure in the naturalist movement.
