Sister Carrie

The debut novel of Theodore Dreiser. For world literature, it became one of the symbols of American realism: with unfeigned plausibility, the author describes the life of a provincial actress searching for happiness in the great city of Chicago… Critics... in the early 20th century received Dreiser's first works coolly, even hostilely, and the publication of "Sister Carrie" was fraught with such difficulties that it led its creator into a deep depression. But the future fate of the novel turned out to be fortunate: it was translated into many foreign languages and reprinted in millions of copies. New and new generations of readers eagerly immerse themselves in the twists and turns of Carolina Miber's fate.
