Based on real events, Theodore Dreiser's An American Tragedy delivers a gripping portrait of a young man consumed by longing—longing for status, love, and a life far beyond his reach. Clyde Griffiths's journey from poverty to aspiration slowly turns into a descent marked by moral conflict, desperation, and choices that lead to devastating consequences. Dreiser's unflinching realism and psychological depth expose the fragile line between hope and ruin in a society obsessed with success. This restored edition presents the novel in a clean, modern format, preserving every haunting detail of this American masterpiece. A compelling exploration of fate, desire, and human weakness—this is a novel that stays with you long after the final page.
