It doesn't take long for her to realize that factory work is hard and dirty. After becoming ill and losing her job, Carrie is taken in by a rich, handsome man who pays for her apartment and finds her work as an actress. But Carrie soon finds another man to take care of her, who happens to be married and a criminal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSister Carrie\u003c\/em\u003e was originally rejected by publishers for being too sordid. Dreiser fought against censorship of \u003cem\u003eSister Carrie\u003c\/em\u003e, which went against social and moral norms of the time. It wasn't until 1981 when the University of Pennsylvania Press issued a scholarly edition that \u003cem\u003eSister Carrie\u003c\/em\u003e started gaining popularity. The novel remains an influential example of naturalism and realism and is now considered one of the great American urban novels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis case laminate collector's edition includes a Victorian inspired dust-jacket. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Theodore Dreiser\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 177476508X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781774765081\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Royal Classics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/10\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 408\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.69lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.06d","brand":"Theodore Dreiser","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43993342869759,"sku":"9781774765081","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a025ce93-e97e-4610-852a-e18a2650f52b.jpg?v=1683323839","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sister-carrie-royal-collectors-edition-theodore-dreiser-9781774765081","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
