Böcker av Theodore Dreiser

The text of the Third Edition is based on the 1900 Doubleday Page edition, with detailed annotations that reveal the author's use of real people and places in Chicago and New York.

An extraordinary collection which reminds us how great a talent Dreiser was."He has no peer in the American short story....Among the moderns, there is almost no one capable of writing tales like these." -Howard Fast.

Frank Cowperwood, a fiercely ambitious businessman, emerges as the very embodiment of greed as he relentlessly seeks satisfaction in wealth, women, and power. As Cowperwood deals and double-deals, betrays and is in turn betrayed, his rise and fall come to represent the American success story stripped down to brutal realities.

Presents a story of a country girl's rise to riches as the mistress of a wealthy man which marked the beginning of the naturalist movement in America.
