An American Tragedy

A rise built on ambition. A fall shaped by desire. A tragedy born in the heart of the American Dream.

An American Tragedy, by Theodore Dreiser, is a landmark of American literature and one of the most powerful novels of the 20th century.

It tells the story of Clyde Griffiths, a young man from a poor family who longs for wealth, love, and social acceptance. But when his hunger for success collides with reckless passion, Clyde becomes trapped in a web of deceit and moral conflict that leads to devastating consequences.

Written with unflinching realism and psychological depth, it remains a haunting reflection on fate and the fragile balance between choice and consequence.
