An American Tragedy

Dreams of success. A forbidden love. A choice that leads to ruin.

An American Tragedy (1925), by Theodore Dreiser, is one of the most important novels of 20th-century American literature—an unflinching portrait of ambition, morality, and the darker side of the American Dream.

The story follows Clyde Griffiths, a young man born into poverty who longs for wealth, status, and recognition. His pursuit of success leads him into a dangerous entanglement of passion and ambition, where a single decision changes his life forever.

Inspired by true events, Dreiser's masterpiece blends social commentary and psychological depth, exposing the tensions between class, desire, and moral responsibility in a rapidly changing America.

Both haunting and unforgettable, An American Tragedy remains a searing exploration of ambition's cost—and the fragility of human choice.
