Theodore Dreiser

    27. August 1871 – 28. Dezember 1945

    Theodore Dreiser war ein amerikanischer Romanautor und Journalist, der die naturalistische Schule maßgeblich prägte. Er ist bekannt für seine Charaktere, deren Wert nicht in ihrem Moralkodex liegt, sondern in ihrer Beharrlichkeit gegen alle Widrigkeiten. Seine literarischen Situationen ähneln eher Naturstudien als Geschichten über Wahlmöglichkeiten und Handlungsfreiheit, wodurch er die menschliche Existenz in ihrem rohen Zustand erforscht.

    • 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.

When small-town girl Carrie Meeber sets out for Chicago, she is equipped with nothing but a few dollars, a certain unspoiled beauty and charm, and a pitiful lack of preparation for the complex moral choices she will face.

    • In der geschäftigen Welt der Finanzen folgt die Geschichte dem Aufstieg eines jungen Mannes von bescheidenen Anfängen zu Reichtum und Einfluss. Sie untersucht Themen wie Ehrgeiz, moralische Ambivalenz und die Verfolgung des amerikanischen Traums durch die Linse der Finanzindustrie. Der Protagonist navigiert durch komplexe Beziehungen und ethische Dilemmata, die die dunklere Seite des Erfolgs offenbaren.
