Tragedia amerykańska – Tom 3

An American Tragedy (in 3 Books) #3

by Theodore Dreiser

Powieść ta to jedna z najgłośniejszych powieści amerykańskich pierwszej połowy XX wieku, osnuta na kanwie autentycznego wydarzenia zaczerpniętego z kroniki kryminalnej. Clyde Griffiths, syn ubogiego kaznodziei ulicznego, olśniony blichtrem wielkiego świata zrywa z purytańskim domem. Nie jest człowiekiem z natury złym, a jednak dla osiągnięcia ambitnych celów gotowy jest na wszystko, nawet na zbrodnię...

About the author

Naturalistic novels of American writer and editor Theodore Herman Albert Dreiser portray life as a struggle against ungovernable forces. Value of his portrayed characters lies in their persistence against all obstacles, not their moral code, and literary situations more closely resemble studies of nature than tales of choice and agency; this American novelist and journalist so pioneered the naturalist school.

Atatea emotii pe parcursul cartii, cu precadere la acest volum final... Daca la inceput eram convinsa ca tragedia cea mare consta in decalajul dintre bogati si saraci, pasiune si moralitate, atunci, acum, in ultimul capitol "Amintire" am preluat o cu totul alta abordare a mesajului trilogiei.
Clyde Griffiths mi-a transmis inca o data aceasta idee refulata despre abordarea de facto si de iure a drepturilor omului. Anume drepturile innascute, alese si dobandite si cum distorsionarea acestora pot aduce urgia mortii peste noi.
PS: 3 STELE pentru stilul de scriere pe alocuri taraganat si plictisitor, in rest mesajul ce vine la final este de-a dreptul revelator.

Except the abundance of adjectives- the story is a very good conglomerate of thoughts. The main character’s thoughts about life values and the consequences of his decisions. Bad decisions always bring bad consequenced and the truth will always prevail.
