McTeague: A Story Of San Francisco is a novel written by American author Frank Norris. The story is set in San Francisco during the late 19th century and follows the life of a dentist named McTeague. McTeague is a simple man who marries his childhood sweetheart, Trina, and sets up his dental practice in San Francisco. However, their happiness is short-lived as they fall into poverty and Trina becomes obsessed with money. McTeague’s friend, Marcus, also falls in love with Trina, leading to a dramatic and tragic conclusion. The novel explores themes of greed, jealousy, and the corrupting influence of money on human relationships. It is considered a classic of American literature and a masterpiece of naturalism.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.
