{"product_id":"sister-carrie","title":"Sister Carrie","description":"Theodore Dreiser had a hardscrabble youth and the years of newspaper work behind him when he began his first novel, \"Sister Carrie,\" the story of a beautiful Midwestern girl who makes it big in New York City. Published by Doubleday in 1900, it gained a reputation as a shocker, for Dreiser had dared to give the public a heroine whose \"cosmopolitan standard of virtue\" brings her from Wisconsin, with four dollars in her purse, to a suite at the Waldorf and glittering fame as an actress. With \"Sister Carrie,\" the original manuscript of which is in the New York Public Library collections, Dreiser told a tale not \"sufficiently delicate\" for many of its first readers and critics, but which is now universally recognized as one of the greatest and most influential American novels.","brand":"Penguin Classics","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49012060979450,"sku":"9780140188288","price":16.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0815\/3101\/1322\/files\/imageloader_6a15bdfb-5050-4de1-920c-22aae4911364.jpg?v=1781547175","url":"https:\/\/serafinibooks.com\/products\/sister-carrie","provider":"Serafini Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
