The Pit

The Pit: Complete Works Of Frank Norris (1903) is a collection of the works of American author Frank Norris, including his critically acclaimed novel The Pit. The book is a classic example of American naturalism, a literary movement that emerged in the late 19th century and focused on the harsh realities of life and the struggles of ordinary people. The Pit tells the story of a young speculator named Curtis Jadwin, who becomes obsessed with the Chicago wheat market and risks everything he has to make a fortune. Along the way, he becomes entangled in a web of deceit, corruption and greed, and must confront the consequences of his actions. The book is a powerful indictment of the capitalist system and the destructive forces that drive it, and has been praised for its vivid portrayal of the Chicago of the early 1900s. The Pit: Complete Works Of Frank Norris (1903) also includes other works by Norris, such as McTeague and The Octopus, which explore similar themes of human nature and the struggle for survival in a harsh and unforgiving world. Overall, the book is a must-read for anyone interested in American literature, naturalism, or the history of Chicago.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
