When each individual realises for himself that this thing primarily stands for and should only be accepted as a moral due—that it should be paid out as honestly stored energy, and not as a usurped privilege—many of our social, religious, and political troubles will have permanently passed. As for Carrie, her understanding of the moral significance of money was the popular understanding, nothing more. The old definition: “Money: something everybody else has and I must get,” would have expressed her understanding of it thoroughly.’\n\nLate in 1889, unhappy with her life in Wisconsin, 18-year-old Caroline Meeber, known to her family as \"Sister Carrie,\" moves to Chicago to live with her elder sister and her husband. There she begins to realize her own American Dream, becoming the mistress of men she considers as superior and eventually becoming a renowned actress.\n\nConsidered a landmark work of literature, Dreiser's frank account of a country girl's climb to wealth and fame as the mistress of rich men heralded the beginning of the naturalist movement in America, ushering in a departure from satisfying moral truths and acknowledging a harsher reality. Sister Carrie has been regarded as the \"greatest of all American urban novels.\"\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0BRLXB7SK\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.B0BRLXB7SK.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Dreiser, Theodore|Press, Hook \u0026amp; Hairline\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book has little sign of wear or use  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Blue Vase Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43374811480125,"sku":"BVV.B0BRLXB7SK.VG","price":11.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/4225\/9261\/files\/B0BRLXB7SK-0.jpg?v=1784599292","url":"https:\/\/www.bluevasebooks.com\/products\/sister-carrie-the-1900-american-literary-classic-annotated","provider":"Blue Vase Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
