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
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...
评分抱歉哈，这书70万字，真心没看，不过把电影看了一遍，模仿《红与黑》情节。 只想简单说点，首先我觉，这么简单的情节主线，七千字能搞定的内容，硬塞了七十万字的乌烟瘴气的内容在里面，我一直很好奇那么一大坨里面究竟啥东西？好吧，西奥多根本就不懂小说的艺术。 其次，情节...
评分一点题外话，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...
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，...
评分于2017年5月20日读完。 看完后，心中产生一种强烈的无可奈何之感，久久无法释怀。 书中描写了二十世纪初的美国社会，一个普通的青年，克莱德，他出身于底层，在无人指引的社会中，受到糟糕的物欲氛围的侵蚀，逐渐丢失了良好的品性，最终谋杀了一个名为罗伯达的无辜女孩，而自己...
