On August 16, 1992, The Bridges of Madison County debuted on the New York Times bestsellers list and it spent the following three years on Times bestsellers. In this fiction, the author knit the story from multipoint views to portray Robert Kincaid, the hero in the novel, and how he showed his counter-elite＇s spirit with his behavior during the 1960s in the United States （US）. The present paper, first of all, gives a brief introduction of the story. Then, the paper mainly explores the novel from two aspects： Robert Kincaid＇s challenge against the industrialized American society and the counter-elite＇s spirit reflected in the novel. The paper concludes that Robert Kincaid is a counter-elite in the industrialized American, where elites are the mainstream of the society.
