About This Novel
One of Roth's most famous series of works, the "American Trilogy", was published in 1997. He won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction the following year and was selected into the "100 Best English Novels" sponsored by Time magazine. His sharp words, profound thoughts and surging passion are rare and precious in today's world literary world. Seymour Lvov is blond and nicknamed "The Swede". As an athletic figure on his high school campus, he was a magnet for men, women and children throughout the community. After graduating from college, he inherited the family business in a regular manner, became an entrepreneur with a prosperous family, and married a New Jersey beauty pageant girl. After World War I, the U. S. Economy rose rapidly and faced no disadvantages. Semore was deeply obsessed with the independent new continent at his feet, and wanted to weave his "American Dream" with hard-working hands. However, his beloved daughter Mei Li became a radical anti-war activist at the age of 16 and used bombs to take four innocent lives one after another. The seemingly perfect Lvov family has since fallen into a nightmare from which they can never escape.
