Amerikanskaia tragediia - Draizer Teodor

"No one creates tragedies - life creates them. Writers only portray them," Theodore Dreiser said. In 1925, he presented an exceptional story of love and betrayal, murder and remorse, illusions and their collapse. Clyde Griffiths, "an average young American with a typically American outlook on life," longs to establish himself in high society at all costs. For the sake of an affair with a wealthy heiress Sondra Finchley, he decides to put an end to the relationship with Roberta, a simple factory worker, one fatal blow ... "American Tragedy" - based on the true events of the harsh recollection of the "American Dream" - was the pinnacle of Dreiser's work and formed the basis of the film "A Place in the Sun" starring Montgomery Clift and Elizabeth Taylor, who won six awards . Oscar."
