An American Tragedy pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2025
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.
如果说西奥多德莱赛是一个杰出的小说家,那未免有些言过其实。看《嘉莉妹妹》的时候大概刚上初中,所以至今除了几个主人公的名字,再也想不起其他信息了。《美国悲剧》则是因为赛珍珠对这本书的大力推崇,所以也就找来一看。但是我只能说,这本书真的很——awkward。 ...
評分又是一个睡不着的高三夜晚,突然想起了三年的一个晚上在读这本书,这本偶然购得的书,没想到在困顿迷茫的夜里,还能唤起我最深层的记忆。不想谈里面的人物的塑造了,只想回忆一下它对我阅读之旅的影响。 陀氏的书之前,没有一本书能让我如此深入的去读,记得这本70万字的书几乎...
評分正是特朗普如同“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...
評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》...
