A Traveler at Forty ".rises completely out of the commonplace, and becomes something new, illuminating and heretical. It differs enormously from the customary travel books it is not a mere description of places and people, but a revelation of their impingement upon an exceptional and almost eccentric personality." H. L. Mencken "For everywhere [Dreiser] goes he watches people with a terrible curiosity about them that never rests until he has their secrets." Sinclair Lewis The most productive period of Theodore Dreiser writing life began with the five months he spent in Europe between 1911 and 1912. A Traveler at Forty is the detailed account of his travels during that time, including the exploration of his ancestral roots in Germany. This is the text of the popular original edition as it was published in 1913. THEODORE DREISER (18711945) was a preeminent American novelist of the first half of the twentieth century. He believed that the experiences of workingclass people striving for economic, emotional, and spiritual fulfillment were viable subjects for serious fiction, and for this reason he is regarded as an anatomist of the "American Dream."
