American Tragedy (two Volumes)
General Fiction美国的悲剧（全二册）
(u. S.) Theodore Dreiser
"An American Tragedy" makes a strong and painful indictment of capitalist society through the emergence and disillusionment of Clyde's "American Dream", the formation and development of his egoistic outlook on life and hedonistic thoughts, and his depression, struggle, degradation and destruction. This tragedy is not so much a tragedy of personality and humanity as it is a tragedy of an era and country based on egoism.
