Streets of Night

This 1923 novel by the celebrated American novelist John Dos Passos follows the life of Fanshaw MacDougan over fifteen years from his freshman year in college until his return from World War I. Like a lot of Dos Passos' early novels Streets of Night is a pessimistic view of our ability to find personal fulfilment while also making a worthy contribution to society. The story is a journey through early adulthood exploring themes like sex love war and conflict. This Kindle edition features a high quality transcription of the original 1923 text and illustrations of birds that reflect the imagery that appears throughout the book.
