Dissatisfied with life in her rural Wisconsin life, 18-year-old Caroline "Sister Carrie" Meeber moves to Chicago to live with her sister and work in a shoe factory. It doesn't take long for her to realize that factory work is hard and dirty. After becoming ill and losing her job, Carrie is taken in by a rich, handsome man who pays for her apartment and finds her work as an actress. But Carrie soon finds another man to take care of her, who happens to be married and a criminal.

Sister Carrie was originally rejected by publishers for being too sordid. Dreiser fought against censorship of Sister Carrie, which went against social and moral norms of the time. It wasn't until 1981 when the University of Pennsylvania Press issued a scholarly edition that Sister Carrie started gaining popularity. The novel remains an influential example of naturalism and realism and is now considered one of the great American urban novels.

This case laminate collector's edition includes a Victorian inspired dust-jacket.

About the Author
Dreiser, Theodore: - "Theodore Herman Albert Dreiser (27 August 1871 - 28 December 1945) was an American novelist and journalist of the naturalist school. He attended Indiana University from 1889 - 1890 without obtaining a degree. Within several years he became a journalist for the Chicago Globe newspaper and then the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Dreiser was also involved in several political campaigns defending radicals whom he believed had been the victims of social injustice, including lynching victims and unions. Dreiser had an enormous influence on the generation that followed his, with some of his most notable works of literature being Sister Carrie and An American Tragedy."
