Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald was an American writer of novels and short stories, whose works have been seen as evocative of the Jazz Age, a term he himself allegedly coined. He is regarded as one of the greatest twentieth century writers. Fitzgerald was of the self-styled "Lost Generation," Americans born in the 1890s who came of age during World War I. He finished four novels, left a fifth unfinished, and wrote dozens of short stories that treat themes of youth, despair, and age. He was married to Zelda Fitzgerald.
The mysterious Jay Gatsby embodies the American notion that it is possible to redefine oneself and persuade the world to accept that definition. Gatsby's youthful neighbor, Nick Carraway, fascinated with the display of enormous wealth in which Gatsby revels, finds himself swept up in the lavish lifestyle of Long Island society during the Jazz Age. Considered Fitzgerald's best work, The Great Gatsby is a mystical, timeless story of integrity and cruelty, vision and despair.
The timeless story of Jay Gatsby and his love for Daisy Buchanan is widely acknowledged to be the closest thing to the Great American Novel ever written.
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...
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...
评分等待的哀歌 当我翻完《了不起的盖茨比》的最后一页,我莫名其妙的回忆起一年前的一个秋夜阅读果戈理《涅瓦大街》的情景。当我在涅瓦大街迷人的街灯和喧闹的人群中目睹一个纯真又孱弱的年轻人的激情,被现实的荒谬彻底击碎的时候,我感到一种难以名状的情绪令我无处遁形。庇斯卡...
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...
