本書介紹

《美國牧歌》是菲利普‧羅斯「美國三部曲」的第一部，1998年獲得普立茲獎。

小說敘述了從大蕭條到20世紀末一個體面的猶太企業家美國夢破滅的遭遇。塞莫爾利沃夫是人人仰慕的棒球明星，循規蹈矩的他在畢業後拒絕球探挖掘，選擇念完大學並承繼家業，娶了新澤西小姐為妻，成為一個成功的手套工廠老板。他愛他新進入的美國新大陸，到了1968年，他所鐘愛的年僅16歲的兒梅麗，卻在這動蕩的反越戰時代，成了激進的炸彈客，最終毀了利沃夫一家。

In American Pastoral, Philip Roth gives us a novel of unqualified greatness that is an elegy for all the twentieth century's promises of prosperity, civic order, and domestic bliss. Roth's protagonist is Seymour 'Swede' Levov - a legendary high school athlete, a devoted family man, a hard worker, the prosperous inheritor of his father's Newark glove factory - comes of age in thriving, triumphant post-war America. And then one day in 1968, Swede's beautiful American luck deserts him. For Swede's adored daughter, Merry, has grown from a loving, quick-witted girl into a sullen, fanatical teenager - a teenager capable of an outlandishly savage act of political terrorism. And overnight Swede is wrenched out of the longed-for American pastoral and into the indigenous American berserk. Compulsively readable, propelled by sorrow, rage, and a deep compassion for its characters, this is Roth's masterpiece.
