This is a book for reading in English. The Stoic is the final part of the Trilogy of Desire by the famous American writer Theodore Dreiser. At the center of the story is the aging Frank Cowperwood, a man with three passions in life: money, women, and works of art. The unadapted text is presented with some abridgements and is supplemented with page-by-page commentary and a glossary. The book is intended for students of language universities, attendees of foreign language courses, and those studying English independently.
