A Side of Paradise pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
This Side of Paradise is the book that established F. Scott Fitzgerald as the prophet and golden boy of the newly dawned Jazz Age. Published in 1920, when he was just twenty-three, the novel catapulted him to instant fame and financial success. The story of Amory Blaine, a privileged, aimless, and self-absorbed Princeton student, This Side of Paradise closely reflects Fitzgerald's own experiences as an undergraduate. Amory Blaine's journey from prep school to college to the First World War is an account of "the lost generation." The young "romantic egotist" symbolizes what Fitzgerald so memorably described as "a new generation grown up to find all Gods dead, all wars fought, all faiths in man shaken." A pastiche of literary styles, this dazzling chronicle of youth remains bitingly relevant decades later.
" This Side of Paradise commits almost every sin that a novel can possibly commit," wrote Edmund Wilson. "But it does not commit the unpardonable sin: it does not fail to live. The whole preposterous farrago is animated with life."
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。
“Reform won’t catch up to the needs of civilization unless it’s made to. A laissez-faire policy is like spoiling a child by saying he’ll turn out all right in the end. He will - if he’s made to.” The undeniable befuddlement in the Jazz Age gets transf...
评分看到第78页,实在是看不下去了。目录就有一个很低级的错误“一九一九年二月”印成了“九一九年二月”,不过这个并不影响阅读倒也罢了。 第67页最后一段,“二月里雨雪不断,刮龙卷风似的一年级生学年中期考试结束了”,读起来太别扭了。 第78页:所有的三角俱乐部剧目,开始写...
评分菲茨杰拉德在我看来是美国二十世纪前半叶最伟大的三个作家之一。与早早就在国内享有盛名的海明威与福克纳不同,菲茨杰拉德被中国读者了解就要迟了很多,甚至很多中国读者开始知道菲茨杰拉德这个名字还是通过村上春树和他的《挪威的森林》。 相对于海明威的硬汉风格、简练...
评分清明哪也没去,朋友问我,我回答是在学校静修了,听得我好像出家了似的。不过一开始确实是打算捧本书将自己笼闭一室之内,夙兴夜寐,昏天暗地读上它几天。但终还是耐不了利益的诱惑,也是由于生计所迫,又蹬上车子教课去了,为那一块八分钱出卖自己的时间和精力。晚上回来,住...
评分F. Scott Fitzgerald的这部作品,跟他的另一部成名作The Great Gatsby有很大的不同。有人认为这部书好似梦呓,形式散乱,看到中间就好难看下去。 This Side of Paradise的确不像一个严密的故事,像是意识流,作者通过Amory这个角色去倾诉他的迷茫。 从童年一直到在普林斯顿大...
