Features: Sister Carrie (1990) is a long novel published by the American realist writer Theodore Dreiser (1871–1945). It is also one of the earliest influential American novels of the 20th century, which has garnered attention and praise from most experts and scholars for nearly a century. The novel adopts traditional writing methods but breaks through in theme, reflecting the social reality of the time in the United States from a certain perspective, challenging the complacent literature of America. As a result, it once faced suppression from worldly prejudice. However, as true gold withstands the test of fire, the novel has always been recognized by the discerning and accepted by the public, becoming an enduring world classic. When Caroline Meeber boards the afternoon train to Chicago, her entire luggage consists of a small suitcase, an inexpensive artificial crocodile leather handbag, and a small lunch packed in a paper box.
