SOBRE O AUTOR

Theodore Dreiser

Theodore Dreiser nasceu a 27 de agosto de 1871. Foi um dos maiores escritores e ativista político no começo do século XX. Nascido em Indiana, no seio de uma família imigrante católica alemã e humilde, partiu aos 15 anos de idade para Chicago, tendo trabalhado inicialmente como jornalista. Tornou-se o autor mais representativo do naturalismo norte-americano, após o sucesso dos seus primeiros três romances da sua obra.
Apreciado pela narrativa crua da realidade, a construção das personagens refletem as injustiças sociais e a sua perspetiva sobre o modo de vida americano. Genial observador da vida, Dreiser exerceu grande influência sobre a geração de escritores americanos que se seguiu à sua. Faleceu em Hollywood, de ataque cardíaco, aos 74 anos.
