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 ...
作者:烽少 她是你久久注视,整夜整夜看守,想要用双手严严实实地遮住,好好守护的远处那一盏小星星一样孤零零的绿灯; 你不过是她天空中的浮云一片。你的远道而来,难道只为这一刻遇见她后的烟消云散? 盖茨比的伟大和悲哀就在于身在纸醉金迷,纵情享乐的时代,仍念念不忘,不...
评分在黛西和盖茨比终于再次相会的那个午后。黛西:我们有好多年没见了。盖茨比:到11月刚好五年。(我忘了原文是否如此。我没有照原文引用。)作为在场者的尼克立刻意识到,盖茨比的应答让气氛变得无比尴尬。 一定有人对此会心一笑。 几十年后1997年的某个下午,A问B他女朋友C的...
评分一直都不怎么喜欢菲茨杰拉德,直到喜欢上了村上春树。 在这之前,印象中的菲茨杰拉德是这样一个作家:阴柔、华美,热衷于书写贵公子和美丽的南方女郎的爱情游戏。那时候,一说起20世纪上半期的美国文学,就会想到海明威和福克纳。从他们的小说中,我看到两人的缄默和隐藏在其...
评分写在前面 《了不起的盖茨比》是打动我最深、对我影响最大的五部小说之一。有时候会有朋友问我:“我也读过这本书啊,没觉得有那么出众啊,怎么会对你如此这般?”。我仔细思考过这个问题,然后很庆幸的发现,我是在自己人生的最合适的阶段读到了这本书。 如果我是在25岁第一次...
评分《了不起的盖茨比》把故事讲得好极,我就只就故事说说故事吧,因为据说其最精妙之处在于语言,可对于译著读者,那是很难去谈的。 菲茨杰拉德把盖茨比的故事讲得张驰相宜、收放自若,而且精细严谨、流畅雅致。人物个个形象鲜明,无论对话、行为还是心理,都生动传神。其内在逻...
无论怎样文字是极好的

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.
