Beschreibung

The Genius is a semi-autobiographical novel by Theodore Dreiser, published in 1915. The story follows the life of Eugene Witla, a talented and ambitious young artist. The novel is a poignant exploration of the struggles and challenges faced by a creative individual in a society that often fails to appreciate and understand artistic genius.

Theodore Dreiser (1871–1945) was an American novelist and journalist known for his realistic and often gritty portrayals of American life. He was one of the prominent figures of naturalism, a literary movement that sought to apply scientific principles to the study of human nature. His works often tackled social issues and the struggles faced by individuals in a rapidly industrializing and materialistic society.

    Anton Chekhov has begun his literature career in the 1880s. First he deprecated turning a person into slave. Later he began to make higher demands to his characters and to blame not only their environment, but also themselves for losing their dignity and for enslavement and abjection."The Album" is a story of an official being congratulated on his jubilee and becoming an album with portraits of his colleagues as a gift. Touched to the depth of his soul he comes home to get warm and loving congratulations there, but as the album that he has just highly valued was taken by kids, his attitude weirdly changes, but the reasons thereof are left to us entirely. "The Album" will definitely set you thinking and probably check your own behavior and even thoughts as well.A SmartTouch Media production.

    Winner of the 1919 Pulitzer Prize when it was first published, The Magnificent Ambersons chronicles the changing fortunes of three generations of an American dynasty. The family serves as a metaphor for the old society that crumbled after the Industrial Revolution while a middle-western town spread and darkened into a city. 
    George Amberson Minafer is the spoiled and arrogant grandson of the founder of the family's magnificence. George, eclipsed by a new breed of industrial tycoons and land developers whose power comes not through family connections but through financial dealings and modern manufacturing, descends from the Midwestern aristocracy to the working class. But George refuses to accept his diminishing status, clinging to all the superficiality he has always known. 
    As the wheels of industry transform the social landscape, the definitions of ambition, success, and loyalty also change.
