〈영어로 읽는 고전 _ 시어도어 드라이저의 연결_소설과 이야기〉
"Chains"는 Theodore Dreiser의 잘 알려지지 않은 소설과 이야기 모음집으로 1927년에 출간되었다. Dreiser는 "An American Tragedy" 및 "Sister Carrie"와 같은 주요 작품으로 가장 잘 기억되지만, "Chains"는 독자들에게 그의 잘 알려지지 않은 작품 중 일부를 엿볼 수 있는 기회를 제공해 준다.
이 컬렉션에는 짧은 작품과 심지어 그의 유명한 소설만큼 인지도를 얻지 못한 초기 초안이나 작품도 포함되어 있다. 그러나 덜 알려진 그의 작품에서도 드라이저의 인간 본성에 대한 예리한 관찰, 사회 문제에 대한 탐구, 설득력 있는 스토리텔링이 담겨 있을 가능성이 높다.
〈Classics to read in English_Theodore Dreiser's Connection_Novels and Stories〉
"Chains" is a collection of little-known novels and stories by Theodore Dreiser, published in 1927. Although Dreiser is best remembered for seminal works such as "An American Tragedy" and "Sister Carrie," "Chains" gives readers a glimpse into some of his lesser-known works.
The collection includes shorter works and even early drafts or works that did not receive as much recognition as his famous novels. But even his lesser-known works are likely to contain Dreiser's keen observations of human nature, exploration of social issues, and compelling storytelling.
Summary
Primarily, there were the conditions under which she was brought to fifteen years of age: the crowded, scummy tenements; the narrow green-painted halls with their dim gas-jets, making the entrance look more like that of a morgue than a dwelling-place; the dirty halls and rooms with their green or blue or brown walls painted to save the cost of paper; the bare wooden floors, long since saturated with every type of grease and filth from oleomargarine and suet leaked from cheap fats or meats, to beer and whiskey and tobacco-juice. A little occasional scrubbing by some would-be hygienic tenant was presumed to keep or make clean some of the chambers and halls.
