Sister Carrie

The debut novel by Theodore Dreiser. It became one of the symbols of American realism in world literature: with genuine plausibility, the author describes the life of a provincial actress searching for happiness in the big city of Chicago... Critics at the beginning of the 20th century received Dreiser's early works coldly, even hostilely, and the publication of "Sister Carrie" was accompanied by such difficulties that it led its creator to severe depression. However, the further fate of the novel turned out to be happy: it was translated into many foreign languages and reprinted in millions of copies. New generations of readers eagerly immerse themselves in the twists and turns of the fate of Caroline Meeber.
