Theodore Dreiser is a famous American writer. His books, such as "American Tragedy", "Sister Carrie", the trilogy "The Financier. Titanium. Stoick, was a huge success with readers around the world and still arouse keen interest. This edition includes two famous novels by Dreiser: "Genius" and "Stronghold". The novel "Genius" tells about the creative and moral quest of the provincial artist Eugene Vitla, who dreams of becoming the first painter who managed to capture on canvas the full breadth and richness of American culture. Passion, creative egoism, ineradicable traits of a businessman and exorbitant ambitions attract Eugene to prosperity and fame, forcing him to pay too high a price for success. In the novel "Stronghold", which saw the light after the death of the author, the story of three generations of a religious Quaker family is told. The clash of harsh principles with everyday reality, the conflict of fathers and children, the struggle of love and duty are shown by Dreiser with amazing expressiveness and sharpness. According to the author himself, "Hold" is for him a work no less significant and personal than "An American Tragedy", and in many ways reflects and complements this great novel.
