A Traveler at Forty ."rises completely out of the commonplace, and
becomes something new, illuminating and heretical. It differs
enormously from the customary travel books: it is not a mere
description of places and people, but a revelation of their
impingement upon an exceptional and almost eccentric personality."
- H. L. Mencken "For everywhere Dreiser] goes he watches people
with a terrible curiosity about them that never rests until he has
their secrets." - Sinclair Lewis The most productive period of
Theodore Dreiser writing life began with the five months he spent
in Europe between 1911 and 1912. A Traveler at Forty is the
detailed account of his travels during that time, including the
exploration of his ancestral roots in Germany. This is the text of
the popular original edition as it was published in 1913. THEODORE
DREISER (1871-1945) was a pre-eminent American novelist of the
first half of the twentieth century. He believed that the
experiences of working-class people striving for economic,
emotional, and spiritual fulfillment were viable subjects for
serious fiction, and for this reason he is regarded as an anatomist
of the "American Dream."
