This is an automatically translated description

The proposed book includes the best stories by Theodore Dreiser (1871-1945) from the author's collection "Chains" in which the writer shows various psychological types of a personality. Among his heroes: a man whose avarice and narrow-mindedness led him to insanity; a labourer who tunnels under the river, and every time, coming down under the ground, he overcomes his fear of the water element; an old Arab who roams the city in search of a narcotic plant sprout. Dreiser creates vivid images of men and women who try to come to understanding and, naturally, to find their happiness. In these stories, the author appears as an extraordinarily talented artist-psychologist who is first and foremost interested in the problems of morality. His analysis of people's thoughts and feelings is astonishing in its depth, plunging deep into thought, confusing and at the same time carrying away.

The book includes the best short stories by Theodor Dreiser (1871-1945) from the author's collection "Fetters", in which the writer depicts certain psychological types of personality. Among his characters are a man whose greed and narrow-mindedness led to madness, a labourer who digs a tunnel under a river and overcomes his fear of the water element every time he goes underground, and an old Arab who wanders the city in search of a branch of a narcotic plant. Dreiser creates vivid images of men and women trying to find common ground and, of course, to find happiness. In his stories, the author reveals himself as an extremely talented artist-psychologist who is primarily interested in the issues of human morality. His analysis of human thoughts and feelings is strikingly deep, thought-provoking, confusing, and at the same time fascinating.
