An American Tragedy - Theodore Dreiser

The classic depiction of the harsh realities of American life, the dark side of the American Dream, and one man`s doomed pursuit of love and success... "Mr. Dreiser is not imitative and belongs to no school. He is at heart a mysticist and a fatalist, though using the realistic method. He is, on the evidence of this novel alone, a power." --The New York Times Book Review
