Novel by Theodore Dreiser, published in 1925. It is a complex and compassionate account of the life and death of a young antihero named Clyde GRIFFITHS. The novel begins with Clyde's blighted background, recounts his path to success, and culminates in his apprehension, trial, and execution for murder. The book was called by one influential critic "the worst-written great novel in the world," but its questionable grammar and style are transcended by its narrative power. Dreiser's intricate speculations on the extent of Clyde's guilt are countered by his searing indictment of materialism and the American dream of success. -- The Merriam-Webster Encyclopedia of Literature

A tremendous bestseller when it was published in 1925, An American Tragedy is the culmination of Theodore Dreiser's elementally powerful fictional art. Taking as his point of departure a notorious murder case of 1910, Dreiser immersed himself in the social background of the crime to produce a book that is both a remarkable work of reportage and a monumental study of character. Few novels have undertaken to track so relentlessly the process by which an ordinary young man becomes capable of committing a ruthless murder, and the further process by which social and political forces come into play after his arrest.

In Clyde Griffiths, the impoverished, restless offspring of a family of street preachers, Dreiser created an unforgettable portrait of a man whose circumstances and dreams of self-betterment conspire to pull him toward an act of unforgivable violence. Around Clyde, Dreiser builds an extraordinarily detailed fictional portrait of early twentieth-century America, its religious and sexual hypocrisies, its economic pressures, its political corruption. The sheer prophetic amplitude of his bitter truth-telling, in idiosyncratic prose of uncanny expressive power, continues to mark Dreiser as a crucially important American writer. An American Tragedy, the great achievement of his later years, is a work of mythic force, at once brutal and heartbreaking.

首先,这部作品的伟大之处在于其现实主义。现实主义的伟大在于其描写的人的苦难。德莱塞写现实生活中发生在个人身上的悲剧,是他的杰出之处。 其次,德莱塞的稚嫩之处在于,他在写到克莱德害死罗伯达之后,偏离了批判现实主义,开始走上乏味的探案和审判过程,不得不说是一种...

正是特朗普如同“奇迹”般的当选美国总统之际,来看这部德莱塞最宏篇巨作的这部小说,似乎有种奇特的荒诞感,一个勉强可以说是美国梦的成功吧,对于特朗普来说至少在政治上是成功了。而对于克莱德来说却是美国梦碎,这也是标题所说的“美国悲剧”。 克莱德犯罪了吗?这是一个很...

书中塑造了一个被拜金主义腐蚀的青年形象,其最后的堕落让人感到很可悲,其实现实生活中这样的例子比比皆是,跟以前相比,花样也是繁多。若是本书的作者活到现在不知道该作何感慨,毕竟我们道德沦丧的某些方面跟美国人相比却是过之不及,唯一多出的一点就是喜欢残害自己的同胞...
