McTeague, a graphic depiction of urban American life at the turn of the century, tells the story of a couple's courtship and marriage, and their subsequent descent into violence and murder as the result of jealousy and greed. The novel was the basis for the films McTeague (1916), Erich von Stroheim's Greed (1924), and Slow Burn (2000).
