Theodore Dreiser (1871-1945) is a famous American writer and public figure. World fame brought him to the trilogy "Titan", "stoic" and "financier", and the peak of creativity was "American tragedy". Sister Carrie (1900) is Dreiser's first novel. The book talks about how the famous "American dream" actually comes true when a person from the bottom of society overcomes obstacles, strives for the goal set before him and reaches the pinnacle of success. The main character of the novel is Caroline (Carrie) Meber, an eighteen-year-old provincial from a poor family. When it's time to arrive, my older sister is forced to take a low-paying job in a factory in Chicago: they won't take her anywhere else. Poor poverty seduces a fragile girl with false promises and pushes her on the path of the mistress of successful men who control her. Meanwhile, Carrie dreams of becoming an actress.
