Generally considered to be F. Scott Fitzgerald's finest novel, The Great Gatsby is a consummate summary of the 'roaring twenties' and a devastating expose of the 'Jazz Age'. Through the narration of Nick Carraway, the reader is taken into the superficially glittering world of the mansions which lined the Long Island shore of the American seaboard in the 1920s, to encounter Nick's cousin Daisy, Jay Gatsby and the dark mystery which surrounds him. The Great Gatsby is an undisputed classic of American literature from the period following the First World War and is one of the great novels of the twentieth century.
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.
The Great Gatsby has been the basis for numerous films of the same name, spanning nearly 90 years; 1926, 1949, 1974, 2000, and an upcoming 2013 adaptation. In 1958 his life from 1937–1940 was dramatized in Beloved Infidel.
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“爵士时代的挽歌”之类的说法,对The Great Gatsby是个蹩脚的评价。且不说这部小说出版时,距大萧条还有四年多的时间,这个故事的背景,也完全可以放在1900年代、50年代、80、90年代,以及刚刚过去这个十年的中期。唯一可以勉强与爵士时代挂上钩的,或许只有Fitzgerald华丽而...
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...
评分很多年前,我在中国南方某个城市海边的一个高校演讲,讲完之后答问环节了,有一个年轻人起来举手,他说:“梁老师我不是来问问题的,我是要你看清楚我这张脸,你要记住我的名字,我叫什么什么什么。” 我觉得很有意思嘛,问他,这是为什么呢? 他说:“这是因为你会发现有一天...

it has gone beyond her, beyond everything.
评分菲茨杰拉德怎么那么会用英语写作,这真是美得无法翻译的文字,词都被用活了。读英文比读中文更觉得悲凉。好的作品果真经得起反复琢磨,这不,我打算一个个去看评论了。
评分这本书到底好看在哪里啊?文笔也不是很好啊。。。
评分in my young and more vulnerable years...人一生所追求的temporality,总是幻灭吧
评分英文版的比中文版的好看太多了。只是我是在不明白Gatzby爱Daisy什么,能紧张到那份上。
