Theodore Dreiser (1871-1945) wasan American novelist andjournalist. In 1892, when Dreiserbegan work as a newspaperman,he "began to observe a certaintype of crime in the United Statesthat proved very common. Itseemed to spring from the factthat almost every young personwas possessed of an ingrownambition to be somebodyfinancially and socially."
He pioneered the naturalistschool and is known forportraying characters whose valuelies not in their moral code, butin their persistence against allobstacles, and literary situationsthat more closely resemblestudies of nature than tales ofchoice and agency.

“向前,向前,人性这么说。美趋向何处它就紧紧跟上。不管是在某片寂静的原野上单独一只绵羊的铃声;或者是森林地带闪光的美景;或者是过路人眼睛里真情的一瞥;而且作出回答紧紧跟上。要等到在追逐中脚步乏得再也走不动,希望已经绝灭,才产生心痛和渴望……” —...

图书标签: 经典 女性 原著 自然主义经典小说 生活 嘉莉妹妹
《嘉莉妹妹(英文版)》是美国20世纪第一部描写都市生活的力作,小说真实地再现了一个农村姑娘如何受到芝加哥灯红酒绿、浮华丑恶氖围的熏染,逐渐泯灭淳朴的个性,以牺牲色相为代价成为纽约电影界的名演员,从而跻身于上流社会。小说因其太过真实的描写剌痛了道德家们的眼睛。当年为出版社审阅书稿的就是美国著名作家、长篇小说《章鱼》的作者弗兰克·诺克斯,尽管诺克斯对这位文学新人身上闪现着的深刻、敏锐的批判精神大加赞赏,最终也没能扭转遭禁的厄运。
美国第一位诺贝尔文学奖得主辛克莱·刘易斯曾满怀深情地说:“德莱塞于三十年前写作了他的处女作《嘉莉妹妹(英文版)》,而我在二十五年前就读到了它;它像一股自由、强劲的西风吹进闭塞、沉闷的美国,给我们滞塞的个人天地里带来了自马克’吐温和魏特曼以来的第一缕新鲜空气。”
适当的欲望促使前进,过度的欲望迷惑人心。欲望似浮云,任其飘过就好,若真是踩在云上漂泊,只怕是要从空中跌落,粉身碎骨。
评分嘉丽就像是一个装备不齐的小小骑士,从一个单纯对都市生活一无所知的乡村女孩变成一个都市新女神。现代社会充满美的梦幻和梦的诱惑。但这既是美的,又是危险的,既是捕获别人,又是俘虏,既吃人,又被吃,既是胜利者,又是失败者。这种催眠术,让人停不下来。
