Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald (September 24, 1896 – December 21, 1940) was an American novelist and short story writer, whose works are the paradigmatic writings of the Jazz Age. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest American writers of the 20th century. Fitzgerald is considered a member of the "Lost Generation" of the 1920s. He finished four novels: This Side of Paradise, The Beautiful and Damned, The Great Gatsby (his best known), and Tender Is the Night. A fifth, unfinished novel, The Love of the Last Tycoon, was published posthumously. Fitzgerald also wrote numerous short stories, many of which treat themes of youth and promise, and age and despair.
A masterpiece, a dazzling social satire, and a milestone in twentieth-century literature, THE GREAT GATSBY peels away the layers of the glamorous twenties to display the coldness and cruelty at its heart.
Everybody who is anybody is seen at the glittering parties held in Gatsby's mansion in West Egg, east of New York. The riotous throng congregates in his sumptuous garden, coolly debating Gatsby's origins and mysterious past. None of the frivolous socialites understand him and among various onlookers, Gatsby is oblivious to the speculation he creates, but seems always to be watching and waiting, though no one knows what for. But as the tragic story unfolds, Gatsby's destructive dreams and passions are revealed ...
看《了不起的盖茨比》完全是因为对村上君的爱,在书的封腰上,村上这样评价这本书“作为小说家,我把它看作一个标准,一把尺子,是看清自己位置的一件标志,然后有时叹息,有时又全身紧张,就好像命中注定一样始终牵扯着我。说是不可思议也行,但如果小说里没有了不可思议,又...

属于那个时代的东西难以复制,每次读都很感动.
评分以后还得再读,语言还跟不上
评分He had come a long way to this blue lawn, and his dream must have seemed so close that he could hardly fail to grasp it. He did not know that it was already behind him, somewhere back in that vast obscurity beyond the city, where the dark fields of the republic rolled on under the night.
评分Serangoon Lib. 先读了简写版了解了故事梗概与整个小说的feel(这一点让我想到了short letter long farewell,难道这就是纽约的味道?),再看原版,不免觉得艰深。但后半部分渐入佳境,经典的场景还是那么好。重逢、燥热的下午四人行、最后没人送别。 读原版更心疼Gatsby, 尤其是看到Gatsby小时候在书上写的人生规划。这次看的时候,也略有代入感。曾经想过如果哪天变成“人生赢家”了,重遇年少时心动过的身影,那是什么感觉?
评分无论怎样文字是极好的
