Вариант 3.

THEODORE DREISER

(1871 - 1945)

Theodore Dreiser was born in a small town in the State of Indiana, USA, in a poor family. After his school years he had to support himself by doing different jobs. He worked at a laundry, then for several years he was a newspaper reporter in Chicago, Cleeveland and Pittsburgh. Later he moved to New York, where he found work as a magazine editor.

From the very beginning of his literary career, he fought against the writers who idealized America, and he wrote works of his own to tell the truth about it. But no publisher wanted to publish his books, and his ideals were criticized. Dreiser"s life was a long fight for realistic literature.

In his first two novels «Sister Carrie» (1900) and «Jennie Gerard» (1911) Dreiser described the life of two young women in the capitalist world.

Three of his works, «The Financier» (1912), «The Titan» (1914) and «The Stoic» (which was published only after his death in 1947), give the whole life story of an American capitalist showing the ways of making big wealth.

In 1927 Dreiser was a guest of Russia. He described his visit in «Dreiser Looks at Russia» (1928).

The economic crisis of 1929-1933 brought great misery to the American working people. In «Tragic America» (1931) Dreiser says that in order to end misery and exploitation American people should follow the example of Russia.

Besides the works mentioned above, Dreiser also published several collections of short stories.

Dreiser"s literary work occupies an important place in American critical realism. His novels and short stories give a true picture of American society and h> influence upon the life of common people.
