The Great Gatsby pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2025

Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald (September 24, 1896 – December 21, 1940) was an American author of novels and short stories, whose works are the paradigm writings of the Jazz Age, a term he coined himself. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest American writers of the 20th century.[1] 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 most famous—and Tender Is the Night. A fifth, unfinished novel, The Love of the Last Tycoon, was published posthumously. Fitzgerald also wrote many short stories that treat themes of youth and promise along with despair and age.

In 1922, F. Scott Fitzgerald announced his decision to write "something new--something extraordinary and beautiful and simple and intricately patterned." That extraordinary, beautiful, intricately patterned, and above all, simple novel became The Great Gatsby, arguably Fitzgerald's finest work and certainly the book for which he is best known. A portrait of the Jazz Age in all of its decadence and excess, Gatsby captured the spirit of the author's generation and earned itself a permanent place in American mythology. Self-made, self-invented millionaire Jay Gatsby embodies some of Fitzgerald's--and his country's--most abiding obsessions: money, ambition, greed, and the promise of new beginnings. "Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgiastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that's no matter--tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther.... And one fine morning--" Gatsby's rise to glory and eventual fall from grace becomes a kind of cautionary tale about the American Dream.

It's also a love story, of sorts, the narrative of Gatsby's quixotic passion for Daisy Buchanan. The pair meet five years before the novel begins, when Daisy is a legendary young Louisville beauty and Gatsby an impoverished officer. They fall in love, but while Gatsby serves overseas, Daisy marries the brutal, bullying, but extremely rich Tom Buchanan. After the war, Gatsby devotes himself blindly to the pursuit of wealth by whatever means--and to the pursuit of Daisy, which amounts to the same thing. "Her voice is full of money," Gatsby says admiringly, in one of the novel's more famous descriptions. His millions made, Gatsby buys a mansion across Long Island Sound from Daisy's patrician East Egg address, throws lavish parties, and waits for her to appear. When she does, events unfold with all the tragic inevitability of a Greek drama, with detached, cynical neighbor Nick Carraway acting as chorus throughout. Spare, elegantly plotted, and written in crystalline prose, The Great Gatsby is as perfectly satisfying as the best kind of poem.

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...

如果不是想要为去电影院看无字幕的原版片做pre-reading,我大概是永远不会去读这样一本标题朴实且并不怎么有吸引力的小说的吧。 这本来是个简单的故事,落魄的年轻军官盖茨比经过机遇与奋斗成为了东岸最富有的人,他想要的一切不过是挽回当年的爱人,而这一切因为爱人的...

撕开一本《MILK》的内页,给我的几本菲茨杰拉德包上了书皮。 最近又重新对他着迷。 重读了《了不起的盖茨比》,又重读了《夜色温柔》, 以及那些我最中意的他的短篇,每一个不同的翻译者,都让文章泛出不同的温柔光彩。 昨天和今天一直在读《了不起的盖茨比》。 故事惊人的高...

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...
