Ragtime摘要

Published in 1975, Ragtime changed our very concept of what a novel could be. An extraordinary tapestry, Ragtime captures the spirit of America in the era between the turn of the century and the First World War.

   The story opens in 1906 in New Rochelle, New York, at the home

of an affluent American family.

One lazy Sunday afternoon, the famous escape artist Harry Houdini swerves his car into a telephone pole outside their house. And almost magically, the line between fantasy and historical fact, between real and imaginary characters, disap-

pears. Henry Ford, Emma Goldman, J. P. Morgan, Evelyn Nesbit, Sig- mund Freud, and Emiliano Zapata slip in and out of the tale, crossing paths with Doctorow's imagined family and other fictional characters, including an immigrant peddler and a ragtime musician from Harlem whose insistence on a point of justice drives him to revolutionary violence.

The Modern Library has played a significant role in American cultural life for the better part of a century. The series was founded in 1917 by the publishers Boni and Liveright and eight years later acquired by Bennett Cerf and Donald Klopfer. It provided the foundation for their next publishing venture, Random House. The Modern Library has been a staple of the American book trade, providing readers with afford-

able hardbound editions of impor-

tant works of literature and thought. For the Modern Library's seventy-

fifth anniversary, Random House redesigned the series, restoring

as its emblem the running torch-

bearer created by Lucian Bernhard in 1925 and refurbishing jackets, bindings, and type, as well as inau-

gurating a new program of selecting titles. The Modern Library continues to provide the world's best books, at the best prices.

多克特罗(E·L·Doctorrow)是美国当代为数不多的一流严肃小说家之一。尽管他从不把写作当作取悦于人的事情，但他的作品在美国却颇为畅销，从1975年出版的《拉格泰姆时代》到1990年出版的《比利·巴思盖特》(Billy Bathgate)都曾经名列畅销书榜首。读者喜爱他那与众不同、创新立异的风格，被他作品中对美国历史的独到见解所吸引，在他那些把20世纪美国的头版新闻同虚构的小说人物的活动糅合在一起的作品中，领略到一种时代气息。

多克特罗1931年出生于纽约，父母是移民美国的俄罗斯犹太人，是那种酷爱书本与音乐的知识分子。多克特罗在这种家庭的熏陶下，经历了30年代大萧条的艰难岁月成长起来，为他日后从事文学创作打下了基础。多克特罗曾受教于纽约布朗克斯理科中学和俄亥俄州的凯尼恩学院，后入哥伦比亚大学研究院攻读戏剧，在那儿结识了日后成为他的妻子的海伦·亨...
