Sister Carrie" is Dreiser's remarkable first novel, which ... burst into the musty atmosphere of bourgeois America like a free west wind and for the first time since Mark Twain and Whitman brought a stream of fresh air into our suffocating domestic world. " So in 1930, in his Nobel speech, the American writer Sinclair Lewis spoke about the novel, emphasizing that the prize should have rightfully gone to Theodore Dreiser, because it was he who "liberated American literature from Victorian timidity and directed it along the path of a bold, honest and passionate depiction of life ". Dreiser's debut novel, published in 1900, caused a huge scandal - it was called immoral, godless, cynical and discrediting the American dream. A well-known critic wrote that "praising this novel is almost as dangerous as shooting the president." The next novel - "Jenny Gerhardt" - Dreiser began to write immediately after the first, but ten years passed before the book was published. In the work of the great American realist and connoisseur of human nature, these two novels stand out as the most emotional and poetic. This volume of selected works is supplemented by several stories published in 1918-1919. They will allow a fuller appreciation of the great talent of the writer, of which the already mentioned critic said: "American literature before and after Dreiser is almost as different as biology before and after Darwin."
