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《拉格泰姆时代》读完,眼前不由浮现张择端的“清明上河图”。一幅画,画尽北宋时期都城东京汴河两岸世情繁华,戏剧性情节冲突,令观者看罢回味无穷。一本书,也几乎写尽了那个时代所有的繁华,余味无穷。 《拉格泰姆时代》作者E.L.多克托罗,美国当代著名作家,曾获...
