An eighteen-year-old girl without money or connections ventures forth from her small town in search of a better life in Theodore Dreiser´s revolutionary first novel. The chronicle of Carrie Meeber´s rise from obscurity to fame - and the effects of her progress on the men who use her and are used in turn - aroused a storm of controversy and debate upon its debut in 1900. The author´s nonjudgmental portrait of a heroine who violates the contemporary moral code outraged some critics, including the book´s publisher, Frank Doubleday, who tried to back out of the agreement his firm had made with Dreiser. But other readers were elated - and a century later, Dreiser´s compelling plot and realistic characters continue to fascinate readers.
