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 评分 评分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...
评分又是一个睡不着的高三夜晚，突然想起了三年的一个晚上在读这本书，这本偶然购得的书，没想到在困顿迷茫的夜里，还能唤起我最深层的记忆。不想谈里面的人物的塑造了，只想回忆一下它对我阅读之旅的影响。 陀氏的书之前，没有一本书能让我如此深入的去读，记得这本70万字的书几乎...
