Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald (September 24, 1896 – December 21, 1940) was an American novelist and short story writer, whose works are the paradigmatic writings of the Jazz Age. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest American writers of the 20th century. 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 best known), and Tender Is the Night. A fifth, unfinished novel, The Love of the Last Tycoon, was published posthumously. Fitzgerald also wrote numerous short stories, many of which treat themes of youth and promise, and age and despair.
A masterpiece, a dazzling social satire, and a milestone in twentieth-century literature, THE GREAT GATSBY peels away the layers of the glamorous twenties to display the coldness and cruelty at its heart.
Everybody who is anybody is seen at the glittering parties held in Gatsby's mansion in West Egg, east of New York. The riotous throng congregates in his sumptuous garden, coolly debating Gatsby's origins and mysterious past. None of the frivolous socialites understand him and among various onlookers, Gatsby is oblivious to the speculation he creates, but seems always to be watching and waiting, though no one knows what for. But as the tragic story unfolds, Gatsby's destructive dreams and passions are revealed ...
前几天,有朋友问我,你相信命运是注定的么?我说,我相信性格决定命运,而性格是天生的。 盖茨比是谁?盖茨比是德国皇帝的表亲,盖茨比是德国间谍,盖茨比是杀人犯,盖茨比是西半岛的特里马尔乔--无休止的舞会供应者。可我们知道,盖茨比不是杰伊·盖茨比,盖茨比是詹姆...
评分在黛西和盖茨比终于再次相会的那个午后。黛西:我们有好多年没见了。盖茨比:到11月刚好五年。(我忘了原文是否如此。我没有照原文引用。)作为在场者的尼克立刻意识到,盖茨比的应答让气氛变得无比尴尬。 一定有人对此会心一笑。 几十年后1997年的某个下午,A问B他女朋友C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A story I fell in love with.
评分这个版本封面好看
评分Certainly a building block in American Literature. Everybody should read it again and again since it fits perfectly to the 21st century Chinese.
评分才知道原来读的英文原版其实是被阉割过的...Fitzgerald的文笔华丽又颓唐,有无数个小段子写得精彩绝伦.Carraway第一次见Gatsby的那个对视的描写.Mrs.wilson死时乳房的描写. Gatsby葬礼以及他年迈贫穷的父亲手里拿着一栋破碎的房子的描写, 遥远的岛上绿光. 数不胜数. 不过这小说 如果高中能多懂点英文,我一定爱不释手.现在读除了感受一下语言和意象的魅力,好像还是称不上心目中最喜欢的list。
评分He had come a long way to this blue lawn, and his dream must have seemed so close that he could hardly fail to grasp it. He did not know that it was already behind him, somewhere back in that vast obscurity beyond the city, where the dark fields of the republic rolled on under the night.
