An American Tragedy

Theodore Dreiser,

About this book

A rise built on ambition. A fall shaped by desire. A tragedy born in the heart of the American Dream. An American Tragedy, by Theodore Dreiser, is a landmark of American literature and one of the most powerful novels of the 20th century. It tells the story of Clyde Griffiths, a young man from a poor family who longs for wealth, love, and social acceptance. But when his hunger for success collides with reckless passion, Clyde becomes trapped in a web of deceit and moral conflict that leads to devastating consequences. Dreiser's masterpiece is more than a tale of crime—it is a searing portrait of class, ambition, and human weakness in a society driven by success at any cost. Written with unflinching realism and psychological depth, it remains a haunting reflection on fate and the fragile balance between choice and consequence. Celebrated as a literary classic, An American Tragedy has inspired films, plays, and adaptations, and continues to resonate with readers as a timeless exploration of morality and the cost of ambition. ?
