Theodore Dreiser Bücher

Vor dem Hintergrund des Gilded Age folgt die Erzählung Frank Cowperwood, einem Geschäftsmann, der nach der Ausnutzung der Panik von 1873 zu Reichtum gelangt. Nach seinem Umzug nach Chicago mit seiner jungen Geliebten übernimmt er aggressiv die Kontrolle über das Verkehrssystem der Stadt und zeigt damit seinen Ehrgeiz und seine Gier. Doch als ihn seine Vergangenheit einholt, sieht er sich sozialer Ausgrenzung und persönlichem Aufruhr gegenüber, was zu einer tiefen Infragestellung seiner Werte und Ambitionen führt. Diese Geschichte von Romantik, Verrat und gesellschaftlicher Kritik bleibt eine bedeutende Reflexion über das amerikanische Leben.

Eine der ersten weiblichen Erfolgsstorys der Literaturgeschichte – verfasst von einem Mann Der amerikanische Traum eines „country girls“ aus dem Mittelwesten, das in Chicago und später in New York gegen alle guten Sitten verstößt, geht in Erfüllung: die 18-jährige Caroline Meeber – Sister Carrie – reist nach Chicago in der Hoffnung auf ein glamouröses Leben. Sie lebt als Geliebte des Handlungsreisenden Charles Drouet, hat ein Verhältnis mit dessen Freund George Hurstwood, Geschäftsführer einer mondänen Bar, der ihretwegen Existenz, Vermögen und Familie aufgibt, geht mit ihm nach New York und wird, ihre Männer hinter sich lassend, als Carrie Madenda ein Broadway-Star. An Zola und an Balzac orientiert, wird der Kosmos der fiebernden neuen Metropolen beschrieben, der Verkehr, das turbulente Geschäfts- und Gesellschaftsleben genauso wie Fließbandarbeit, Armut und Elend. Wie Dreiser seine Figuren, die amerikanischen Großstädte und den aufblühenden Starkult psychologisch unsentimental und zugleich ergreifend beschreibt, aus vielfacher Perspektive, jenseits aller gängigen Normen und mit einem leidenschaftlichen Realismus – das macht die Faszination dieses dramatischen, komplexen und intensiven Amerika-Porträts aus, das zum Kanon der amerikanischen Literatur gehört.

In his stories and in such landmark novels as Sister Carrie and An American Tragedy, Theodore Dreiser (1871–1945) defied literary propriety and broke new ground in American fiction by focusing on life as it is, rather than as it ought to be. Sherwood Anderson, introducing a collection of Dreiser stories, said of him: "If there is a modern movement in American prose writing, a movement toward greater courage and fidelity to life in writing, then Theodore Dreiser is the pioneer and the hero of the movement." Indeed, his bold example paved the way for a new generation of American writers.The five superb stories in this volume vividly attest to the sincerity and depth of Dreiser's gifts as a powerful and original storyteller. They are "Free," the story of a man trying, as his wife lies dying, to understand why he never found happiness in marriage; "The Second Choice" and "Married," two insightful tales of the complex relationships of men and women; "Nigger Jeff," a powerful, disturbing story of a lynching; and "The Lost Phœbe," a poignant tale of a man's search for a lost life partner.
