Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

McTeague is a novel written by Frank Norris and published in 1899. It tells the story of a dentist named McTeague who lives in San Francisco during the late 19th century. McTeague is a man of simple pleasures and limited intelligence, but he is also a skilled dentist who has built a successful practice. He falls in love with a young woman named Trina, who is also his patient, and they get married. However, their relationship is strained by financial problems and jealousy, and it ultimately leads to a tragic ending. The novel explores themes of greed, jealousy, and the destructive power of love. It is considered a classic of American literature and a masterpiece of naturalism, a literary movement that sought to depict life as it really is, without idealization or romanticism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
