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 评分E.L.多克特罗在扉页上写了句题记“这首乐曲不要弹得太快。拉格泰姆是不能弹得太快的”，这是拉格泰姆音乐大师斯科特•乔普林的话语。然而如果我们聆听乔普林生前的演奏录音就会发现，他最有名的一首《枫叶拉格泰姆曲》是如此欢快而充满朝气，频繁出现的切分音符将节奏拆...
评分 评分精明的历史“盗墓者” ——读多克托罗《拉格泰姆时代》 ■ 东渔 美国文学就是一个繁花似锦的大杂烩，这里面夹杂着马克·吐温的世事鞭策，科马克·麦卡锡的残酷争斗，福克纳的家族秘史，再到厄普代克中产梦陨，海明威的硬汉情结，菲茨杰拉德的美国梦，以及卡佛...
