Welcome to America at the turn of the twentieth century, where the rhythms of ragtime set the beat. Harry Houdini astonishes audiences with magical feats of escape, the mighty J. P. Morgan dominates the financial world and Henry Ford manufactures cars by making men into machines. Emma Goldman preaches free love and feminism, while ex-chorus girl Evelyn Nesbitt inspires a mad millionaire to murder the architect Stanford White. In this stunningly original chronicle of an age, such real-life characters intermingle with three remarkable families, one black, one Jewish and one prosperous WASP, to create a dazzling literary mosaic that brings to life an era of dire poverty, fabulous wealth, and incredible change in short, the era of ragtime.

评分我一直留在门外 《拉格泰姆时代》是小说家E.L.多克特罗用心弹奏的一支令人吃惊的曲子,又是一幅由许多明晰的画面和照片连缀而成的本世纪初叶美国社会的巨型风尘画。从某种意义上来说,《拉格泰姆时代》也是多克特罗对第一次世界大战前夕美国这个新兴国家历史的理解和把握...
评分读书笔记45:雷格泰姆音乐 一天都在坐车,从市到县又到镇最后到村子上,跟很多陌生人打招呼,感觉很疲惫。 这本书很难评价好坏,大杂烩似的小说,想表达的东西太多,有些地方力量不够,有些又用力太猛。 时代背景大致是1906年之后到费迪南大公夫妻遇刺之间纽约的场景,历史人物...
