About Sister Carrie is Theodore Dreiser’s first novel, released at the turn of the century in 1900. For world literature, this novel has become one of the symbols of American realism: with genuine believability Dreiser paints a picture of a provincial actress seeking happiness in a big city … As the author himself would later say, in Sister Carrie and in the next, no less realistic novel, Jenny Gerhardt he used events from the lives of his sisters. Critics at the beginning of the 20th century received Dreiser’s first works coolly, even with hostility. Although the fact that both books not only belonged to the pen of the future author of «American Tragedy» and «The Financier», but are still interesting to the reader, only confirms the bias and shortsightedness of those reactionary assessments. Abstract Debut novel by Theodor Dreiser. For world literature, he became one of the symbols of American realism: with genuine believability the author describes the life of a provincial actress seeking happiness in the big city of Chicago … such difficulties that it led its creator to severe depression. But the further fate of the novel turned out to be happy: it was translated into many foreign languages and reprinted in millions of copies. New and new generations of readers are happy to immerse themselves in the vicissitudes of the fate of Caroline Mieber.
