Sister Carrie (1900) is a novel by Theodore Dreiser. Controversial
for its honest depiction of work, desire, and urban life, Sister
Carrie has endured as a classic of naturalist fiction and remains a
powerful example of social critique over a century after its
publication. Despite poor reviews upon publication, the novel is
now considered a landmark of American literature. Tired of the
countryside, Carrie Meeber moves to Chicago to live with her older
sister and her husband. On the train ride into the city, she meets
an older man, a handsome traveling salesman named Charles Drouet.
Despite their obvious attraction, she decides to focus on finding
work in order to pay rent. Carrie struggles at a local factory and
longs to pursue her interest in acting, but knows that her
obligation to family requires she work diligently and without
complaint. One day, she encounters Charles on the street and joins
him for lunch. He offers to take her in, suggesting that she need
no longer worry about factory work or her sister, and remarking on
her natural beauty and effortless charm. Soon, however, she strikes
up a relationship with an unhappily married man, risking her
stability with Charles and tying her fortunes to Hurstwood, who
soon proves arrogant and manipulative. With a beautifully designed
cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of
Theodore Dreiser's Sister Carrie is a classic of American
literature reimagined for modern readers.
