An American Tragedy (Electronic book text)

The classic depiction of the harsh realities of American life, the dark side of the American Dream, and one man's doomed pursuit of love and success... ""Mr. Dreiser is not imitative and belongs to no school. He is at heart a mysticist and a fatalist, though using the realistic method. He is, on the evidence of this novel alone, a power."" --The New York Times Book Review
