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.

    "A Chameleon" is a short sketch about the occurrence at the town square, where the main characters were a craftsman Hryukin, policeman Otchumyelov and stray puppy, surprisingly turned to be a property of the general's brother. Hearing about the bite suddenly turns into a scene of Otchumelov's attempts to save face in front of the curious crowd and maneuver between his ambitions and subservience. It is obvious that the story contains a satirical generalization. Psychology of this early story is not expressed verbally, not through the inner speech of the characters and not through the speech of the author-narrator, but through the external behavior - gestures, facial expressions, body movements, actions.A SmartTouch Media production.
