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 ...

評分 評分我们都曾坚持过什么,也许已经忘记,也许仍旧铭记却无力实现。 用了一周多的时间把这本书看了三遍,对于从来不看打着世界名著标签的书的自己,对于已经变得懒惰又恶俗的自己实属不易。 这仅仅是一个梦碎的故事,所有的情节所有的人物所有的跌宕也不过是为码头尽头的那盏绿灯...
評分《了不起的盖茨比》中有一段非常普通的对话:第二章中,Tom带着Nick去见他的情妇Myrtle,随后三人一同坐火车前往纽约,在车站Myrtle看中了小贩兜售的一条狗,然后很矫情地问“Is it a boy or a girl?” Tom冷冷地回应“It's a bitch.” 李继宏居然翻译为“它是个婊子。”这是一...
評分作者: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...
把人性的醜惡扒瞭皮血淋淋地給你們看(話說書沒看完真的不能做決斷……(>_<))
评分纔知道原來讀的英文原版其實是被閹割過的...Fitzgerald的文筆華麗又頹唐,有無數個小段子寫得精彩絕倫.Carraway第一次見Gatsby的那個對視的描寫.Mrs.wilson死時乳房的描寫. Gatsby葬禮以及他年邁貧窮的父親手裏拿著一棟破碎的房子的描寫, 遙遠的島上綠光. 數不勝數. 不過這小說 如果高中能多懂點英文,我一定愛不釋手.現在讀除瞭感受一下語言和意象的魅力,好像還是稱不上心目中最喜歡的list。
