McTeague And A Man's Woman - Frank Norris - Bog

McTeague and A Man's Woman: Stories of San Francisco (1899) is a collection of two short stories by Frank Norris, set in the bustling city of San Francisco at the turn of the 20th century. The first story, McTeague, follows the life of a brutish, uneducated dentist named McTeague who becomes obsessed with money and power, ultimately leading to his downfall. The second story, A Man's Woman, tells the tale of a beautiful and manipulative woman named Flossie who uses her charms to control the men around her, until she meets her match in the form of a wealthy and powerful businessman. Both stories explore themes of greed, power, and the corrupting influence of urban life, and provide a vivid portrait of San Francisco during a time of rapid growth and change. With its vivid characters and vividly drawn settings, McTeague and A Man's Woman is a classic work of American literature that continues to captivate readers over a century after its initial publication.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
