đŒ He reached for successâbut found only scandal, guilt, and ruin.
An American Tragedy is Theodore Dreiser's searing portrayal of one man's rise and fall in early 20th-century America. Inspired by true events, the novel tells the story of Clyde Griffiths, a poor but ambitious young man who is driven by desireâdesire for wealth, status, and love. When a romantic entanglement threatens his future, Clyde makes a desperate choice that sets in motion a chilling and unforgettable chain of events.
Dreiser's masterpiece examines the crushing weight of social expectations, the hypocrisy of class privilege, and the fragile line between ambition and destruction. Through unflinching realism and psychological depth, An American Tragedy delivers a powerful indictment of the American Dream.
