Here are the restless men and women of America, hungry for wealth, love, beauty, position, and that ever-receding promise called happiness.

The Theodore Dreiser Library presents the works of one of America’s great chroniclers of ambition and desire, read in full. From the crowded streets and glittering theatres of Sister Carrie to the terrible longing at the heart of An American Tragedy, Dreiser follows ordinary lives caught in the immense machinery of money, circumstance, passion, and fate.

Enter his America, and listen.Public domain
