美国文学经典 Classics of American Literature

我们每一个人一生都会读很多书，但是我们能真正记住多少呢？我们都听说过美国文学中的著名作家，例如Emerson，Thoreau，Poe，Hawthorne，Melville，Whitman，Dickinson，Twain，James，Hemingway，Fitzgerald，Faulkner，Eliot，O’Neil，Morrison。但是我们知道他们为什么伟大吗？我们真的理解这些书，达到它们已经成为我们内心的一道风景，成为美国人和美国的性格吗？

美国的经典作品十分丰富，这些书经常是冲突十分激烈的场所——政治、种族、性别以及道德。与其他现代国家相比，美国是一个神秘的国度，拥有它自己的使命感和前途，并且通过流血战争来实现她的使命。这些文学作品，就是形成美国英语以及美国式自由的努力。
