About This Ebook

*Sister Carrie* is a seminal piece of American literature, first published in 1900. It tells the story of Carrie Meeber, a young woman who leaves her rural home for the urban environment of Chicago in search of opportunity and adventure. In the city, Carrie encounters a series of characters who shape her destiny, most notably George Hurstwood and Charles Drouet. As Carrie navigates the complexities of city life, she rises from humble beginnings to achieve a level of success, though not without significant moral dilemmas. Dreiser’s detailed portrayal of Carrie’s inner struggles and the broader social context provides a powerful commentary on the nature of desire and the challenges of modernity in a rapidly changing society.
