书籍简介:

本书是美国20世纪第一部描写都市生活的力作,小说真实地再现了一个农村姑娘如何受到芝加哥灯红酒绿、浮华丑恶氛围的熏染,逐渐泯灭淳朴的个性,以牺牲色相为代价成为纽约电影界的名演员,从而跻身于上流社会。小说因其太过真实的描写刺痛了道德家们的眼睛。当年为出版社审阅书稿的就是美国著名作家、长篇小说《章鱼》的作者诺克斯,尽管诺克斯对这位文学新人身上闪现着的深刻、敏锐的批判精神大加赞赏,最终也没能扭转遭禁的厄运。

作者介绍:

Theodore Dreiser (1871-1945) wasan American novelist andjournalist. In 1892, when Dreiserbegan work as a newspaperman,he "began to observe a certaintype of crime in the United Statesthat proved very common. Itseemed to spring from the factthat almost every young personwas possessed of an ingrownambition to be somebodyfinancially and socially."   He pioneered the naturalistschool and is known forportraying characters whose valuelies not in their moral code, butin their persistence against allobstacles, and literary situationsthat more closely resemblestudies of nature than tales ofchoice and agency.

内容摘要:

《嘉莉妹妹(英文版)》是美国20世纪第一部描写都市生活的力作,小说真实地再现了一个农村姑娘如何受到芝加哥灯红酒绿、浮华丑恶氖围的熏染,逐渐泯灭淳朴的个性,以牺牲色相为代价成为纽约电影界的名演员,从而跻身于上流社会。小说因其太过真实的描写剌痛了道德家们的眼睛。当年为出版社审阅书稿的就是美国著名作家、长篇小说《章鱼》的作者弗兰克·诺克斯,尽管诺克斯对这位文学新人身上闪现着的深刻、敏锐的批判精神大加赞赏,最终也没能扭转遭禁的厄运。
美国第一位诺贝尔文学奖得主辛克莱·刘易斯曾满怀深情地说:“德莱塞于三十年前写作了他的处女作《嘉莉妹妹(英文版)》,而我在二十五年前就读到了它;它像一股自由、强劲的西风吹进闭塞、沉闷的美国,给我们滞塞的个人天地里带来了自马克’吐温和魏特曼以来的第一缕新鲜空气。”

WHEN Caroline Meeber boarded the afternoon train for Chicago,her total outfit consisted of a small trunk, a cheap imitationalligator-skin satchel, a small lunch in a paper box, and a yellow leathersnap purse, containing her ticket, a scrap of paper with her sister'saddress in Van Buren Street, and four dollars in mone It was inAugust, 1889. She was eighteen years of age, bright, timid, and full ofthe illusions of ignorance and youth. Whatever touch of regret atparting characterised her thoughts, it was certainly not for advantagesnow being given up. A gush of tears at hermother's farewell kiss, a touch in her throatwhen the cars clacked by the flour mill whereher father worked by the day. a pathetic sigh asthe familiar green environs of the village passedin review, and the threads which bound her solightly to girlhood and home were irretrievablybroken.
Sister Carrie (1900) is a novel by TheodoreDreiser about a young country girl who movesto the big city where she starts realizing herown American Dream by first becoming amistress to men that she perceives as superiorand later as a famous actress. In his Nobel Prize Lecture of 193o, SinclairLewis said that "Dreiser's great first novel,Sister Carrie, which he dared to publish thirtylong years ago and which I read twenty-fiveyears ago, came to housebound and airlessAmerica like a great free Western wind, andto our stuffy domestidity gave us the first freshair since Mark Twain and Whitman".
