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
也许有翻译的原因，反正看德莱塞这本书，就像看巴萨踢球——倒脚。。。倒脚。。。倒脚。。。倒到看客昏昏欲睡了，突然来个漂亮射门——在对心理、外观、环境喋喋不休的啰嗦n页，突然出个精彩段落或者犀利评论，看得又累又烦。。。对内容也没太多心思咂摸了。 美国的《红与黑》...
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《美国的悲剧》1925，被视为德莱赛最重要的作品。 与司汤达《红与黑》一样，《美国的悲剧》也是根据一个真实的故事写成的。出身贫寒的青年人克莱特，受到美国当时物质文明的诱惑，极度渴望奢华的生活。为了和大资本家的女儿结婚，过上自己理想的生活，克莱特准备抛弃自己已有...
评分 评分花了好几天的时间看完《美国的悲剧》，第三部分看得比较简略。第一感觉是小说的主人翁克莱特活得太自私，他的悲剧是自找的。但是为何这样一个故事却被德莱塞认为是“美国的悲剧”？克莱特的普遍意义在哪里？ 首先可以从角色的设定上来分析。《嘉莉妹妹》和《欲望三部...
