McTeague and A Man's Woman: Stories of San Francisco is a collection of two novellas written by Frank Norris in 1899. The first novella, McTeague, follows the story of a dentist named McTeague who becomes obsessed with money and power, leading him down a destructive path. The story is set in San Francisco and explores themes of greed, jealousy, and the corrupting influence of money.The second novella, A Man's Woman, tells the story of a young woman named Sarah who is married to a wealthy businessman but finds herself drawn to a rough and rugged sailor. The story is also set in San Francisco and explores themes of love, loyalty, and social class.Both stories are gritty and realistic portrayals of life in San Francisco at the turn of the 20th century. They are characterized by Norris' vivid descriptions of the city and its inhabitants, as well as his exploration of complex human emotions and motivations. McTeague and A Man's Woman are considered classic examples of American naturalism and are widely regarded as some of Norris' best work.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
