[ Dreiser / The Titan ]
Theodore Dreiser (1871 - 1945) was American journalist and novelist, today best known for Sister Carrie.
This novel is the second in Dreiser's trilogy based on the life of the American tycoon Charles Yerkes. The lone metaphorical reference to Newfoundlands occurs late, in Chapter 53:
He looked strangely replete for a man of thirty-six — suave, steady, incisive, with eyes as fine as those of a Newfoundland or a Collie and as innocent and winsome.
