An American Tragedy : Theodore Dreiser's Epic Tale of Ambition, Class, and Crime

🌆 One man's dream. One woman's death. One unforgettable American tragedy.

In An American Tragedy, Theodore Dreiser delivers a searing portrait of ambition, moral failure, and the crushing weight of societal expectations.

Clyde Griffiths rises from poverty with a burning desire for success—but when love, class, and status collide, the consequences turn deadly ⚖️. Inspired by real-life events, Dreiser's groundbreaking novel explores the dark underside of the American Dream 🇺🇸—where not every ambition ends in glory.
