Drawing on his years as a struggling journalist in New York, Dreiser gathers sketches of the city as it was around 1900 to 1915. He writes of the city of his dreams, the dawn, the waterfront and a harbour pilot, bums in the bread line, hopeful song-writers, push-cart men, sweatshops and the lonely and defeated in the crowd.
Vivid urban portraits by the author of Sister Carrie, for anyone fond of old New York. Download the free EPUB.
