An American Tragedy by Theodore
Dreiser fictionalizes a famous murder that happened in the 1906
murder of Grace Brown by Chester Gillette. His version tells the
story of Clyde Griffiths, a confused and irresponsible young man.
Clyde uses his position as supervisor to take advantage of a young
woman, Roberta, who has fallen in love with him. Clyde falls in love
with another woman, Sondra, who could provide him an entrance to
society. Robert becomes pregnant, and after failing to get her an
abortion, Clyde schemes to murder her when she insists on marrying
him. Clyde is arrested, tried, and ultimately executed. Time
magazine included the novel in its TIME 100 Best English-language
Novels from 1923 to 2005 list, and it is considered a classic of
American crime fiction.
Resumen
The classic depiction of the harsh realities of American life, the dark side of the American Dream, and one man's doomed pursuit of love and success..."Mr. Dreiser is not imitative and belongs to no school. He is at heart a mysticist and a fatalist, though using the realistic method. He is, on the evidence of this novel alone, a power." --The New York Times Book Review
