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.

评分抱歉哈，这书70万字，真心没看，不过把电影看了一遍，模仿《红与黑》情节。 只想简单说点，首先我觉，这么简单的情节主线，七千字能搞定的内容，硬塞了七十万字的乌烟瘴气的内容在里面，我一直很好奇那么一大坨里面究竟啥东西？好吧，西奥多根本就不懂小说的艺术。 其次，情节...
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。 ...
