À propos de cet audio

An American Tragedy is the story of Clyde Griffiths, who spends his life in the desperate pursuit of success. On a deeper, more profound level, it is the masterful portrayal of the society whose values both shape Clyde's ambitions and seal his fate; it is an unsurpassed depiction of the harsh realities of American life and of the dark side of the American dream. Extraordinary in scope and power, vivid in its sense of wholesale human waste, unceasing in its rich compassion, An American Tragedy stands as Theodore Dreiser's supreme achievement.

First published in 1925 and based on an actual criminal case, An American Tragedy was the inspiration for the 1951 film A Place in the Sun, which won six Academy Awards and starred Elizabeth Taylor and Montgomery Clift.

Wow. This was a very long audiobook, but it never dragged. Exceptionally well written, and excellent narration (I especially liked the tsk tsk tsks!). As it was based on a real story, it really carried weight. Fascinating to get into the head of a ‘criminal’ and his justifications. It was also educational to witness how the lawyers built and coached a ‘version of the truth’. Highly recommended.

Incredible
