Theodore Dreiser

American Tragedy (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

An American Tragedy is a tour de force, one of the most important novels in the American cannon. Ripped from the headlines, it follows Clyde Griffiths, a handsome, ambitious man whose religious upbringing has left him unprepared to pay the price required to realize the American Dream. It's an ambitious novel that unflinchingly confronts the lie of the American Dream and myth of a classless society with opportunities for all, and an extraordinary crime novel that will stay with you long after you've turned the last page.

Nothing short of monumental.- Kirkus

Autorenporträt

Theodore Herman Albert Dreiser (27 August 1871 - 28 December 1945) was an American novelist and journalist of the naturalist school. He attended Indiana University from 1889 - 1890 without obtaining a degree. Within several years he became a journalist for the Chicago Globe newspaper and then the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Dreiser was also involved in several political campaigns defending radicals whom he believed had been the victims of social injustice, including lynching victims and unions. Dreiser had an enormous influence on the generation that followed his, with some of his most notable works of literature being Sister Carrie and An American Tragedy.
