Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The Stoic, Theodore Dreiser's posthumously published final volume of the Trilogy of Desire, completes the rise of Frank Cowperwood by turning from ruthless accumulation to the limits of power, passion, and self-fashioning. Set against t…he financial, social, and metropolitan world of late nineteenth-century America and Europe, the novel fuses documentary realism with philosophical gravity. Dreiser's expansive, naturalistic method attends closely to money, class, sexuality, and urban modernity, while the title signals the tension between worldly ambition and a harder, chastened search for composure before mortality. Dreiser, one of the central figures of American literary naturalism, was preoccupied throughout his career with the forces-economic, biological, and social-that shape human destiny. His background in poverty, journalism, and close observation of American business culture informed his fascination with magnates, strivers, and moral ambiguity. In The Stoic, written late in life, Dreiser brings to culmination his long meditation on desire and success, drawing on his enduring interest in how wealth fails to resolve the deeper unrest of the self. This is a rewarding book for readers of serious American fiction, especially those interested in naturalism, capitalism, and the psychological cost of ambition. Read with The Financier and The Titan, it offers a powerful conclusion; read alone, it remains a grave, intelligent novel of power confronting its limits. 220 pp. Englisch.
