嘉莉妹妹(Sister Carrie)簡介：

`When a girl leaves her home at eighteen, she does one of two things. Either she falls into saving hands and becomes better, or she rapidly assumes the cosmopolitan standard of virtue and becomes worse.'

The tale of Carrie Meeber's rise to stardom in the theatre and George Hurstwood's slow decline captures the twin poles of exuberance and exhaustion in modern city life as never before. The premier example of American naturalism, Dreiser's remarkable first novel has deeply influenced such key writers as William Faulkner, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Saul Bellow, and Joyce Carol Oates. This edition uses the 1900 text, which is regarded as the author's final version.

小說描寫了農村姑娘嘉莉來到大城市芝加哥尋找幸福，為擺脫貧困，出賣自己的貞操，后又憑美貌與歌喉成為歌星的故事。作家嫻熟地運用自然主義的創作手法，使作品具有極強的社會表現力。小說的故事真正情節是這樣的：嘉莉是個俊俏的農村姑娘，她羨慕大都市的物質生活來到了芝加哥謀生。嚴酷的現實破碎了她的美夢，迎接她的是失業和疾病。在走投無路時，她做了推銷員杜洛埃的情婦，后來由于更大的欲望又做了酒店經理赫斯渥的情婦。與赫斯渥私奔后，在紐約由于偶然的機會她成了走紅一時的演員，擠上了上流社會，實現了她的幻想。
