Description
“American literature before and after Dreiser differed almost as much as biology before and after Darwin,” Henry Mencken said. Carrie, Dreiser’s first novel published in 1900, transformed the traditional story of the “fallen woman” into a bold and truly groundbreaking work. Naive young Caroline Meeber, a girl from a small town, lured by the temptations of the modern city, becomes a mistress of a traveling salesman and then of a bar manager who runs off with her to New York. With his truthful and merciless depiction of modern society, Dreiser shocked the Puritan public. The novel received mixed reviews, but in the end it was recognized as one of the greatest works of American literature. This book is a must-read for everyone interested in the social dynamics of modern society and the grim realities of the so-called “American dream.”
