A review by forever_amber
The Genius by Theodore Dreiser
5.0
Absolutely mesmerizing book!
I am astonished by the eloquence and depths of thought and events which occurred within the novel. As far as I know, Theodore Dreiser is not a philosopher, yet this story is exactly a philosophical study of life, man and woman themselves. It is so delicate, so subtle, so uncompromisingly sharp and harsh and difficult to swallow by being extraordinarily ingenious. It is exactly the type of a novel I appreciate. Deeply speculative, profound and extracting everything, without leaving anything concealed.
Oh, beauty, nature and spirit! This is everything I long for as well, but, of course, together with luxury and strength. These things are virtues when they are adopted by a virtuous mind, no one can convince me the opposite.
This book is a complete joy for the senses and for the thought!
