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.

读后感

读了差不多三年,终于将德莱塞主要的作品和杂文看完了。An American Tragedy是新近看完的。这部作品被称为德莱塞的巅峰期作品不为过,虽然个人来说我比较喜欢温情还存的《珍妮姑娘》,但不可否认这部作品尖锐地点出很多让人深刻反思的观点。如果说其他作品还隐隐透露希望的话,...

首先,这部作品的伟大之处在于其现实主义。现实主义的伟大在于其描写的人的苦难。德莱塞写现实生活中发生在个人身上的悲剧,是他的杰出之处。 其次,德莱塞的稚嫩之处在于,他在写到克莱德害死罗伯达之后,偏离了批判现实主义,开始走上乏味的探案和审判过程,不得不说是一种...

书中塑造了一个被拜金主义腐蚀的青年形象,其最后的堕落让人感到很可悲,其实现实生活中这样的例子比比皆是,跟以前相比,花样也是繁多。若是本书的作者活到现在不知道该作何感慨,毕竟我们道德沦丧的某些方面跟美国人相比却是过之不及,唯一多出的一点就是喜欢残害自己的同胞...

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。 ...

一点题外话,1873年,美国。 在此之前,各种杂志小报乐此不疲地利用着凶杀、艳情一类的噱头吸引着普遍低级趣味的读者。当时的三版当然不如今天《太阳报》(“The Sun”)的一样活生色香玉体横陈。他们只有诸如大亨的晚宴上裸体舞女坐在一只装满香槟酒的浴盆里,房地产富商和他的...
