McTeague: A Story of San Francisco is a novel written by American author Frank Norris. The book follows the life of a dentist named McTeague who lives in San Francisco during the late 19th century. McTeague is portrayed as a simple and straightforward man who is content with his life until he falls in love with his best friend's fianc�����e, Trina. The novel explores themes of greed, jealousy, and the destructive nature of desire as McTeague's life spirals out of control. The story is set against the backdrop of San Francisco during the Gold Rush era, and the city's social and economic landscape plays a significant role in shaping the characters' lives. The novel is a classic example of American literary naturalism, a movement that sought to portray human beings as products of their environment and biology. McTeague is a powerful and tragic story that explores the darker aspects of human nature and the consequences of unchecked desire.Where that cliched Death-Valley-handcuffed-to-a-dead-man thing comes from.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
