內容簡介
《嘉莉妹妹（英文版）》是美國20世紀一部描寫都市生活的力作，小說真實地再現了一個農村姑娘如何受到芝加哥燈紅酒綠、浮華醜惡氖圍的薰染，逐漸泯滅淳樸的個性，以犧牲色相為代價成為紐約電影界的名演員，從而躋身於上流社會。小說因其太過真實的描寫剌痛了道德家們的眼睛。當年為出版社審閱書稿的就是美國著名作家、長篇小說《章魚》的作者弗蘭克·諾克斯，儘管諾克斯對這位文學新人身上閃現著的深刻、敏銳的批判精神大加讚賞，終也沒能扭轉遭禁的厄運。
美國一位諾貝爾文學獎得主辛克萊·劉易斯曾滿懷深情地說：“德萊塞於三十年前寫作了他的處女作《嘉莉妹妹（英文版）》，而我在二十五年前就讀到了它；它像一股自由、強勁的西風吹進閉塞、沉悶的美國，給我們滯塞的個人天地裡帶來了自馬克’吐溫和魏特曼以來的一縷新鮮空氣。”

作者簡介
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.
