An American Tragedy : A Classic Novel of Ambition, Desire, and Downfall by Theodore Dreiser

One man's rise. One fatal choice. And the chilling consequences of the American Dream gone wrong.

An American Tragedy is Theodore Dreiser's unforgettable tale of ambition, class, love, and crime in early 20th-century America. Based on true events, this novel follows Clyde Griffiths, a young man torn between moral responsibility and the temptation of wealth, romance, and social status. As Clyde climbs the social ladder, a reckless decision spirals into betrayal, murder, and devastating consequences.

A cornerstone of American naturalism and literary realism, Dreiser's masterwork remains shockingly relevant in its portrayal of class, ambition, and the human cost of success.
