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.

抱歉哈,这书70万字,真心没看,不过把电影看了一遍,模仿《红与黑》情节。 只想简单说点,首先我觉,这么简单的情节主线,七千字能搞定的内容,硬塞了七十万字的乌烟瘴气的内容在里面,我一直很好奇那么一大坨里面究竟啥东西?好吧,西奥多根本就不懂小说的艺术。 其次,情节...

书只读了一半,读了后半部分。因为是女儿借她同学的,等我发现这书的时候,上半部分已还回去。 本书的作者是西奥多•德莱塞(Theodore Dreiser,1871-1945),美国批判现实主义代表作家之一,与海明威、福克纳并称为美国现代小说三巨头,本书是他的代表作。 在书的这后半...
