Features: This book is the masterpiece of the famous American writer Theodore Dreiser. The son of a poor minister, Clyde, went to the streets with his parents at the age of twelve to preach. Later, he worshiped money, pursued lust, and fell into the life philosophy and value system of monopolistic capital. In order to climb up by marrying the daughter of the factory owner, he ruthlessly killed his original lover and was ultimately executed by the electric chair at the age of twenty-three. This is indeed an American tragedy.
