CIGAR 26 简介 大饭店 描写了美国南部新奥尔良一家豪华的大饭店 由于老板沃伦 特伦特因循守旧 管理不善 跟不上时代的发展 结果负债累累 而被迫出售的故事 通过对这家饭店的描述 反映了美国资本主义社会形形色色的弊端和痼疾 旅馆巨臂弱肉强食 侦探人员敲诈勒索 饭店职工贪污盗窃 黑人遭到种族歧视 上层贵族卑鄙无耻 富家子弟腐化堕落 富商少女精神空虚 饭店惯窃贪婪无厌 所有这一切 可以说是当时腐朽的美国资本主义社会的一个缩影 阿瑟 黑利在他的这部作品里也塑造了几个可爱的人物 例如小说中的主人公彼得 麦克德莫特 在黑利的笔下 是一个年富力强 精通业务 事业心强 富有远见的经理人员 另外 如认真负责的厨师长安德烈 雷米尔 忠心耿耿的垃圾工人布克 特 格雷厄姆 作者都作了比较深入的描述 给人以深刻印象 27 Plot Inthisnovel
