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。 ...

花了好几天的时间看完《美国的悲剧》,第三部分看得比较简略。第一感觉是小说的主人翁克莱特活得太自私,他的悲剧是自找的。但是为何这样一个故事却被德莱塞认为是“美国的悲剧”?克莱特的普遍意义在哪里? 首先可以从角色的设定上来分析。《嘉莉妹妹》和《欲望三部...

读了差不多三年,终于将德莱塞主要的作品和杂文看完了。An American Tragedy是新近看完的。这部作品被称为德莱塞的巅峰期作品不为过,虽然个人来说我比较喜欢温情还存的《珍妮姑娘》,但不可否认这部作品尖锐地点出很多让人深刻反思的观点。如果说其他作品还隐隐透露希望的话,...

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...
