Features: This book is one of the "World Classics Collection," featuring Theodore Dreiser's long "Sister Carrie." The novel depicts the unfortunate experiences of a rural girl, Carrie, as she seeks a livelihood in Chicago. It realistically portrays the miserable lives of the lower classes in America and the cold, money-driven relationships between people. How should one live? Or, what is the ideal life? When poor and humble, one yearns for wealth and fame, striving for it. Yet, once successful, one feels something is lost. It seems that life is not just about fame, fortune, and gain. So, what else is there in life? This is the question Dreiser poses to us in "Sister Carrie."
