Sister Carrie (Dover Thrift Editions)

by Theodore Dreiser

Sister Carrie (Dover Thrift Editions) Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

An 18-year-old girl without money or connections ventures forth from her small town in search of a better life in Theodore Dreiser's revolutionary first novel. The chronicle of Carrie Meeber’s rise from obscurity to fame—and the effects of her progress on the men who use her and are used in turn—aroused a storm of controversy and debate upon its debut in 1900. The author’s nonjudgmental portrait of a heroine who violates the contemporary moral code outraged some critics and elated others. A century later, Dreiser’s compelling plot and realistic characters continue to fascinate readers. Unabridged republication of the classic 1900 edition.

Synopsis:

The first masterpiece of the American naturalistic movement, Sister Carrie made its controversial debut in 1900. Condemned for its alleged immorality, the novel traces the fortunes of a small-town girl's rise from obscurity to fame.
