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.
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...
评分又是一个睡不着的高三夜晚,突然想起了三年的一个晚上在读这本书,这本偶然购得的书,没想到在困顿迷茫的夜里,还能唤起我最深层的记忆。不想谈里面的人物的塑造了,只想回忆一下它对我阅读之旅的影响。 陀氏的书之前,没有一本书能让我如此深入的去读,记得这本70万字的书几乎...
评分书只读了一半,读了后半部分。因为是女儿借她同学的,等我发现这书的时候,上半部分已还回去。 本书的作者是西奥多•德莱塞(Theodore Dreiser,1871-1945),美国批判现实主义代表作家之一,与海明威、福克纳并称为美国现代小说三巨头,本书是他的代表作。 在书的这后半...
评分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。 ...

深刻。。
评分读过几遍,描写很细腻,文字甚至有些冗长,罗嗦,篇幅很长。
