Raised in poverty by devout missionaries, Clyde Griffiths longs for more. After getting a job at a grand Kansas City hotel, his dreams finally seem in reach, but his self-interest and obsession with the material lead him to commit one transgression after another, ultimately leading to murder.

A writer of the naturalist school, Dreiser’s work concerns itself with exploring the tensions of a rapidly changing society, as urban centres expand and social norms relax.
