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“克莱德，给你去信，为的是让你不要觉得你往日的以上人已经把你完全忘掉了。她也饱受了痛苦。她虽然永远也不能理解你怎么会干得这等事来，但即便是现在，尽管她永远也不会再跟你见面了，她并不 是没有悲伤和同情心的，她还祝愿你自由和幸福。” 其他所有的都不讲，看到这里，...
评分 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...
