An American Tragedy

di Theodore Dreiser (Autore)

Zenith Velvet Ink Publishing, 2025

?? What happens when success becomes an obsession — and morality is the only cost too high to pay? In An American Tragedy, Theodore Dreiser delivers a powerful portrait of ambition, desire, and social failure in early 20th-century America. The young and desperate Clyde Griffiths longs for wealth, status and a life far beyond his modest upbringing — but when he pursues both a factory girl and a wealthy debutante, his dreams lead him into a spiral of moral compromise and murder. Based on a real-life 1906 murder case, the novel exposes the dark underbelly of the American dream: the hunger for more, the pressure of class, and the tragic consequences when one man tries to escape his world without changing his character. Dreiser uses rich detail and unflinching realism to show how environment, social forces and inner desire shape destiny — and how even the boldest dreams can become nightmares.
