Theodore Dreiser is a famous American novelist, essayist and social activist. His works, touching on acute social problems, have enjoyed and continue to enjoy great success with readers around the world. Literary debut of the writer was "Sister Carrie" (1900) - the story of the rise of the protagonist, a young provincial Caroline Meeber, achieved at the cost of numerous moral compromises, and the descent of the manager of a prestigious bar George Gerstwood at the bottom of life. In the words of Sinclair Lewis, this novel "burst into the musty atmosphere of bourgeois America like a free Western wind," "freeing American literature from Victorian...timidity and pretentiousness and setting it on the path of an honest, courageous, and passionate depiction of life." Dreiser's second novel, "Jennie Gerhardt" (1911), which tells the story of a girl from a poor family, whose life is full of dramatic breakups and tragic losses, helped to establish his reputation as an outstanding author, before and after which American literature, in the words of the famous journalist Henry Louis Mencken, "differs almost as much as biology before and after Darwin".
