A Brief Introduction to the Novel Grand Hotel

Grand Hotel describes a luxury hotel in New Orleans in the southern United States. Because its owner Warren Trent is old-fashioned, poorly managed and unable to keep up with the times, he is heavily in debt and forced to sell it. Through the description of this hotel, it reflects all kinds of drawbacks and chronic diseases of American capitalist society: the hotel is a jungle, detectives extort money, hotel staff embezzle and steal, blacks are discriminated against by race, upper-class aristocrats are despicable, rich children are corrupt, rich girls are empty, and hotels are greedy ... These can be said to be a microcosm of the decadent American capitalist society at that time. Arthur Harry also created several lovely characters in this work. For example, Peter mcdermott, the hero of the novel, is a young, proficient, enterprising and far-sighted manager. In addition, such as serious and responsible chef Andre Lei Mier and loyal garbage worker booker T Graham, the author has made a more in-depth description, which is impressive.
