Summary

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.

    “There was no desire in him for a state or condition, no picture in his mind of the thing to be when he had followed his longing; but only a burning and a will overpowering to journey outward and outward after the earliest risen star.”  
    John Steinbeck’s first novel, and his only work of historical fiction, is loosely inspired by Sir Henry Morgan, the infamous pirate of the 1650s and 60s. Captain Morgan was a legendary and notorious man who struck terror into the hearts of men, in service of his personal ambitions. He has become obsessed with two thoughts: the beautiful and mysterious woman known as La Santa Roja, and to conquer Panama City (the titular Cup of Gold) away from Spain. 
    Unique in Steinbeck’s oeuvre, this swashbuckling tale is both a historical and fantastical retelling of the life of this legendary Welsh pirate.
