F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote in a friend's copy of "Tender Is the Night, " "If you liked "The Great Gatsby, " for God's sake read this. "Gatsby" was a tour de force but this is a confession of faith." Set in the South of France in the decade after World War I, "Tender Is the Night" is the story of a brilliant and magnetic psychiatrist named Dick Diver; the bewitching, wealthy, and dangerously unstable mental patient, Nicole, who becomes his wife; and the beautiful, harrowing ten-year pas de deux they act out along the border between sanity and madness.In "Tender Is the Night, " Fitzgerald deliberately set out to write the most ambitious and far-reaching novel of his career, experimenting radically with narrative conventions of chronology and point of view and drawing on early breakthroughs in psychiatry to enrich his account of the makeup and breakdown of character and culture."Tender Is the Night" is also the most intensely, even painfully, autobiographical of Fitzgerald's novels; it smolders with a dark, bitter vitality because it is so utterly true. This account of a caring man who disintegrates under the twin strains of his wife's derangement and a lifestyle that gnaws away at his sense of moral values offers an authorial cri de coeur, while Dick Diver's downward spiral into alcoholic dissolution is an eerie portent of Fitzgerald's own fate.F. Scott Fitzgerald literally put his soul into "Tender Is the Night, " and the novel's lack of commercial success upon its initial publication in 1934 shattered him. He would die six years later without having published another novel, and without knowing that "Tender Is the Night" would come to be seen as perhaps its author's most poignant masterpiece. In Mabel Dodge Luhan's words, it raised him to the heights of "a modern Orpheus."
F·S·菲茨杰拉德(Francis Scott Fitzgerald,1896—1940)
二十世纪美国最杰出的作家之一,以诗人和梦想家的气质为“爵士时代”吟唱华丽挽歌。短短四十四年的人生,他的遭际几经跌宕起伏,在名利场中看尽世态炎凉。二十世纪末,美国学术界权威在百年英语长河中选出一百部最优秀的小说,凝聚了菲茨杰拉德才华横溢的两部长篇小说《了不起的盖茨比》和《夜色温柔》均榜上有名,前者更高居第二位。
本来是抱着多少也要了解美国文化的心理去读,但读到一半就被内容深深打动,读到结尾甚至哭了出来。如果说《了不起的盖茨比》多少打动人还是因为我对盖茨比那样的单恋抱有好感,这次则是对迪克的痛苦感同身受。压抑自己照顾他人,结果最后连自我都迷失了,既是菲茨杰拉德自身的...
评分看过原著,最近因为写一篇关于翻译的论文,就想到拿两个中文译本比较一下。主万的翻译受到很多读者诟病了吧,可是有许多地方他比汤新楣翻译的好的太多。之前还见有人夸汤新楣的翻译呢,不知道那位读者怎么想的。下面准备打脸,上原文和译文的对比:(前为主万译,后为汤译) 1)...
评分与菲茨杰拉德相遇甚晚而一见钟情,所以我不理解自己为什么不喜欢村上春村,因为菲氏对村上影响至深。菲氏的文风属于他那个时代,因华美绚烂而愈显脆弱,因繁荣盛极而备觉落寞,《了不起的盖茨比》正是这种文风的极致体现,而那个时代,也由于他的加持被标记为“爵士时代...
评分装桢的这么舒服,文字上就没人多把关吗? 好多句子都读不通,本来作者的文字风格就比较绕,这看着也太难为人了。 装桢的这么舒服,文字上就没人多把关吗? 好多句子都读不通,本来作者的文字风格就比较绕,这看着也太难为人了。
评分他陪她长大,保护她。她怀着对他的感激,成长。可是所有的事都在变,人人心里都会有另外的世界。 他渴望自由,不用扮演完美的角色去照顾所有,她也渴望自由,不用总是顶着一个病人的角色,不知道陪伴究竟是义务、同情还是爱。 早在海明威《流动的盛宴》里,我就喜欢上了这个“...
I liked The Great Gatsby very much. In comparison, though the jacket claims that this is the best of Fitzgerald, it reeks too much of the standard classic American novel. Keyword: American. It lost the touch of grace and... romantic faith that The Great Gatsby had. Nonetheless a solid work.
