Beskrivelse af McTeague (1899)
McTeague is a novel written by Frank Norris and published in 1899. The story is set in San Francisco during the late 19th century and follows the life of a young dentist named McTeague. McTeague is a simple man with a rough exterior who struggles to make ends meet in his dental practice. He is engaged to a woman named Trina, who is also his cousin, and the two of them dream of a better life.However, their plans are derailed when Trina wins a large sum of money in a lottery. This sudden wealth changes the dynamic of their relationship and causes tension between McTeague and Trina. As their relationship deteriorates, McTeague becomes increasingly desperate and begins to spiral out of control.The novel explores themes of greed, jealousy, and the corrupting influence of money. It also provides a vivid portrayal of life in San Francisco during the late 19th century, with its bustling streets, seedy neighborhoods, and diverse population.Overall, McTeague is a powerful and gripping novel that offers a rich and insightful portrait of its time and place. It remains a classic of American literature and a must-read for anyone interested in the history and culture of San Francisco.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
