Produktbeschreibung
In Theodore Dreiser's novel, 'The Titan,' readers are immersed in the late 19th-century industrial landscape of America, where the cutthroat world of business and politics collide. Dreiser's raw and unflinching portrayal of the protagonist's rise to power and subsequent downfall is a stark commentary on the corrupt nature of ambition and wealth. The novel is written in a naturalistic style, emphasizing the influence of environment and society on the characters' fates. The character development is intricate and thought-provoking, challenging readers to question the morality of success in a capitalistic society. Dreiser's exploration of the American Dream sheds light on the darker side of achieving success at any cost. 'The Titan' is a compelling read for those interested in the complexities of human nature and the pursuit of power. Theodore Dreiser's own experiences growing up in a lower-middle-class family and working in various industries likely inspired his critique of the American capitalist system in this powerful and timeless novel. I highly recommend 'The Titan' to readers seeking a thought-provoking and immersive exploration of greed, ambition, and the American Dream.

Autorenporträt
Theodore Dreiser (1871-1945) was an American novelist and journalist of the naturalist school. His novels often featured main characters who succeeded at their objectives despite a lack of a firm moral code, and literary situations that more closely resemble studies of nature than tales of choice and agency. Dreiser's best known novels include Sister Carrie and An American Tragedy.
