An American Tragedy is the powerfully written, deeply moving story of Clyde Griffiths, the son of an itinerant street preacher, whose burning ambition for wealth and social prestige brings him nothing but tragedy. It is, as H. L. Mencken says in his splendid introduction "not only a minutely detailed picture of one unhappy young man's life; it is a commentary upon human life in general. **The bottom has shelf staining. The jacket isprice clipped, in fair/good condition with several tape-repaired tears and several small missing pieces.**. Seller Inventory # 003803
