Theodore Dreiser's An American Tragedy is a classic novel of ambition, tragedy, and morality. It tells the story of Clyde Griffiths, a young man from a poor family who dreams of a better life. He moves to the city and finds a job in a factory, but his dreams of success are quickly dashed when he falls in love with a wealthy socialite.
