An American Tragedy pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
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.

评分也许有翻译的原因,反正看德莱塞这本书,就像看巴萨踢球——倒脚。。。倒脚。。。倒脚。。。倒到看客昏昏欲睡了,突然来个漂亮射门——在对心理、外观、环境喋喋不休的啰嗦n页,突然出个精彩段落或者犀利评论,看得又累又烦。。。对内容也没太多心思咂摸了。 美国的《红与黑》...
评分《美国的悲剧》1925,被视为德莱赛最重要的作品。 与司汤达《红与黑》一样,《美国的悲剧》也是根据一个真实的故事写成的。出身贫寒的青年人克莱特,受到美国当时物质文明的诱惑,极度渴望奢华的生活。为了和大资本家的女儿结婚,过上自己理想的生活,克莱特准备抛弃自己已有...
评分一点题外话,1873年,美国。 在此之前,各种杂志小报乐此不疲地利用着凶杀、艳情一类的噱头吸引着普遍低级趣味的读者。当时的三版当然不如今天《太阳报》(“The Sun”)的一样活生色香玉体横陈。他们只有诸如大亨的晚宴上裸体舞女坐在一只装满香槟酒的浴盆里,房地产富商和他的...
