Theodore Dreiser: A Gallery of Women. Chains. Printed book.

The name of the American writer Theodore Dreiser is known to readers all over the world primarily thanks to his famous novels, including "Sister Carrie," "Jennie Gerhardt," "The 'Genius'," "An American Tragedy," and others. Meanwhile, Dreiser was also a highly prolific short story writer. His creative legacy includes dozens of brilliant stories and sketches, which are in many ways autobiographical and sometimes anticipate the themes and conflicts of his major works. "A Gallery of Women" features fifteen different heroines, each with her own destiny and life drama; fifteen captivating stories written by a profound connoisseur of human nature, a vivid and truthful artist, and a compelling storyteller. In the collection "Chains," the author's focus is on the inner experiences of the characters; some of them are desperately trying to escape poverty and are willing to go to great lengths to do so, while others have achieved wealth and high status in society but do not feel happy; the tragedies of individual people serve as instructive tales about the transience of worldly goods. In this edition, Dreiser's short prose collections are presented as they were conceived by the author, with the majority of the stories published in new translations.
