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...
评分总觉得德莱塞长得不够睿智,笨头笨脑的,没有写东西人应该有的灵气。 他在1900年写了《嘉莉妹妹》,25年写了《美国的悲剧》。原以为德莱塞在美国,是中国的巴金,真正意义上的家喻户晓。和我父母亲同辈的美国人,如果学的不是文科,多半不知道德莱塞是谁。最近20年来,美国才开...

评分不知道有没有同学和我一样,小时候是从这套黄皮书开始看世界名著的。 好怀念那种没心没肺把名著当言情小说读的年代啊! 记得当时年幼很没文化,还以为《红与黑》是抄《美国的悲剧》的……- -!
评分正是特朗普如同“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...

Novel by Theodore Dreiser, published in 1925. It is a complex and compassionate account of the life and death of a young antihero named Clyde GRIFFITHS. The novel begins with Clyde's blighted background, recounts his path to success, and culminates in his apprehension, trial, and execution for murder. The book was called by one influential critic "the worst-written great novel in the world," but its questionable grammar and style are transcended by its narrative power. Dreiser's intricate speculations on the extent of Clyde's guilt are countered by his searing indictment of materialism and the American dream of success. -- The Merriam-Webster Encyclopedia of Literature
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.
