発行者による作品情報

"An American Tragedy" is a gripping novel written by Theodore Dreiser, exploring themes of ambition, class, and the pursuit of the American Dream. Set in the early 20th century, the story follows the life of Clyde Griffiths, a young man from a poverty-stricken background who aspires to climb the social ladder.

Clyde's journey begins in Kansas City, where he works in his uncle's factory. Dissatisfied with his lowly position, he yearns for a life of wealth and privilege. His ambitions lead him to Chicago, where he finds employment at a luxurious hotel owned by his wealthy relatives, the Griffiths family.

In Chicago, Clyde becomes infatuated with the glamorous world of the upper class and falls in love with a beautiful socialite named Sondra Finchley. However, his romantic aspirations are complicated by his relationship with Roberta Alden, a working-class girl who becomes pregnant with his child.

Caught between his desire for upward mobility and his sense of obligation to Roberta, Clyde is faced with a fateful decision that will ultimately lead to tragedy. As his actions spiral out of control, Clyde grapples with guilt, fear, and the consequences of his choices.

Through Clyde's story, Dreiser explores the corrupting influence of wealth and social status, as well as the inherent flaws of the American Dream. "An American Tragedy" is a powerful examination of human nature and the moral dilemmas that arise when personal ambition collides with ethical responsibility. With its complex characters and gripping narrative, the novel offers a compelling portrait of the darker side of the American experience.
