by Theodore Dreiser (Author)
First published in 1925, An American Tragedy is Theodore Dreiser's monumental naturalist novel of ambition, class aspiration, and moral collapse in modern America.
The novel follows Clyde Griffiths, the son of impoverished street evangelists, whose longing for wealth, status, and romantic fulfillment drives him into increasingly perilous circumstances. Determined to escape his origins, Clyde reinvents himself within the glittering world of industrial affluence, only to become entangled in a relationship that threatens his carefully constructed ascent. When desire, fear, and social pressure converge, the consequences are devastating.
Dreiser's method is patient, documentary in tone, and unflinching in its psychological scrutiny. Through Clyde's rise and fall, he exposes the structural forces-economic inequality, social stratification, cultural ambition-that shape individual destiny. At once courtroom drama, social critique, and intimate character study, An American Tragedy stands as one of the defining American novels of the early twentieth century.
