McTeague and a Man's Woman

McTeague and A Man's Woman: Stories of San Francisco is a collection of two short stories written by Frank Norris and originally published in 1899. The first story, McTeague, follows the life of a dentist named McTeague who lives in San Francisco and marries his best friend's fianc¿¿¿¿¿e. The story explores themes of greed, jealousy, and the destructive power of obsession. The second story, A Man's Woman, tells the story of a woman named Selina Peake who is torn between two men, one of whom is her husband and the other her lover. The story explores themes of love, betrayal, and the complexities of human relationships. Both stories are set in San Francisco and provide a vivid portrayal of the city during the late 19th century. McTeague and A Man's Woman are considered to be classic examples of American naturalism, a literary movement that focused on the harsh realities of life and the struggles of ordinary people.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
