"He was a victim of a destiny which he himself had helped to create, but which he could not control."

Clyde Griffiths is a young man driven by a desperate hunger for status, wealth, and the glittering world of the American upper class. Born into poverty and raised by street evangelists, he believes he has finally found his path to success in a New York factory. But Clyde becomes trapped between two worlds: the humble life of the girl he has impregnated, Roberta Alden, and the dazzling future offered by the beautiful socialite Sondra Finchley.

A Haunting Psychological Portrait: Theodore Dreiser's magnum opus is a searing indictment of a society that promises everything but provides no moral compass. Through Clyde's journey, the novel explores the collision of ambition and ethics, leading to a fateful moment on a quiet lake that will change lives forever. It is a meticulous study of how environment, heredity, and social pressure can drive an ordinary man toward an unthinkable crime.

The Definitive Naturalist Novel: More than just a crime story, An American Tragedy is a profound social document. Dreiser's "plain-speaking" style strips away the romanticism of the era to reveal the cold machinery of the law and the fickle nature of public opinion. It remains an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of the American identity and the tragic consequences of a life built on the shallow pursuit of prestige.

Ambition can be a prison. Purchase "An American Tragedy" today and experience the most powerful critique of the American soul ever written.
