Sister Carrie

A landmark in American literature, presented in its complete and unexpurgated version. Dreiser''s unsparing story of a country girl''s rise to riches as the mistress of a wealthy man marked the beginning of the naturalist movement in America. Both its subject matter and Dreiser''s objective, nonmoralizing approach made it highly controversial, and only a heavily edited version could be published in 1900. In this restored version, the truly revolutionary nature of Sister Carrie is made fully evident.
