One of the most famous series of works "American Trilogy" by Philip Roth, the first American literary figure. It won the English Commonwealth Ambassador's Book Award the same year it was published in 1998, and was shortlisted for the Dublin International Literary Award in 2000. A bitter and slightly humorous story that reproduces the destruction of post-World War II idealism due to selfishness, hypocrisy and betrayal. Ella Ringgold lost her mother when she was young, dropped out of school at an early age, and could only hang out at the bottom of society for a long time. During World War II, he studied hard on his own, and with the help of opportunities, he became a well-known radio actor. He married the famous actress Eve Fleming, but soon after their marriage, Eve's daughter from her previous husband became unruly and willful, bringing their marriage to the edge of breakdown. At this time, McCarthyism was prevalent in the United States, and Ella, who had lofty political ambitions, was included in the political blacklist. Frustrated by her marital problems, Eve is exploited by her political opponents and publishes a memoir that slanders Ella as a Soviet spy, bringing fatal destruction to Ella.
