Description
The name of American writer Theodore Dreiser is familiar to readers around the world primarily because of his famous novels, among them “Sister Carrie” and “Jennie Gerhardt,” “Genius” and “An American Tragedy,” “The Trilogy of Desire,” and “The Bulwark.” Meanwhile, Dreiser was also a very prolific short story writer. His creative legacy includes dozens of brilliant stories and essays. Often autobiographical and sometimes anticipating the themes and conflicts of his novels, they clearly confirm the author’s maxim: “A writer’s business is not to judge, but to understand life and tell about it.”
“The Women’s Gallery” (1929) is fifteen absolutely different heroines, each with her own fate and life drama. Fifteen captivating stories written by a deep connoisseur of human nature—an vivid, truthful artist and engaging storyteller. In this edition, “The Women’s Gallery” is presented in the way the author himself intended it, and most of the stories are published in Russian for the first time.
