Description
Sister Carrie, first published in 1900, is a groundbreaking work of fiction that transformed the conventional "fallen woman" story into a powerful exploration of American culture. Theodore Dreiser's innovative novel hurled his midwestern heroine into the vibrant world of the big city, revealing the driving forces of American society with brilliant insight. Through its portrayal of restless idealism, glamorous materialism, and spiritual innocence, Sister Carrie brought American literature into the twentieth century. This reprint edition includes a special appendix discussing Dreiser's earlier, unedited manuscript, offering a unique perspective on the author's vision. Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines, with more than 1,700 titles published by the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.
