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.

拉格泰姆时代(RAGTIME BY E. L. Doctorow 译林 1996) 这首乐曲不要弹得太快,拉格泰姆是不能弹得太快的….. ----Scott Joplin 这句话印在书的扉页上。关于“时代”的书似乎都是厚厚的几大本,而这本书,中译本只有236页...
评分 评分第一次阅读《褴褛时代》这本书的时候是很小的时候吧。很偶然的一次机会,看到书柜顶端犄角处直立着一本旧书,书的封面给我的感觉很奇怪,一面残缺的美国国旗下面是一张黑人的脸,然后是出版社的名字。至于作者“多克特罗”那个时候我还是对其不知情的。紧接着开始阅读了。我是...
评分想到哪说到哪。没列提纲,没组织语言。 那时候我还年轻。读了几本狄更斯,便觉得自己有了纵横天下的本钱。 这时候,遇到了《泰格拉姆时代》。翻了一遍,不知所云。觉得有点象海明威,但骨子里却又完全不一样。毕竟还是年轻,唯独记得科尔豪斯是条汉子。 后来,慢慢长大了,上...
评分《拉格泰姆时代》是美国作家E•L•多克托罗用文字书写出的拉格泰姆旋律,书中描述出一战前夕美国社会的时代演变,历史仿佛正如拉格泰姆这种音乐特点――演奏者一手弹稳健的伴奏,一手则以繁复的变换手法奏出欢快的旋律,历史一边以有序的步骤沉稳的行进,而处于时代...
好像一百多年前和现在也没有什么不同
