Sister Carrie. A novel by Theodore Dreiser.
Sister Carrie caused a scandal within the publishing house and after its publication. But in its berserk state, Dreiser paved the way for a generation of realist writers such as Sinclair Lewis and John Steinbeck.
What made the story so terrifying at the time was that young Carrie, the book's protagonist, is not punished for her promiscuity in men's affairs, her dreams of modesty, and her unquenchable thirst for worldly goods. Instead, Dreiser observes the unfolding events impartially, does not pass judgment on his character's actions, and allows her to enjoy some success. The story begins, however, in a conventional manner, with an innocent country girl arriving in Chicago full of expectations but unaware of the dangers of the big city that may await her.
