《瞭不起的蓋茨比》(名著名譯插圖本)弗·司各特·菲茨傑拉德(1896-1940),美國二十世紀最傑齣的作傢之一。《瞭不起的蓋茨比》是他最著名的代錶作。二十世紀二十年代的美國,空氣裏彌漫著歡歌與縱飲的氣息。一個偶然的機會,窮職員尼剋闖入瞭揮金如土的大富翁蓋茨比隱秘的世界,驚訝地發現,他內心惟一的牽絆竟是對河岸那盞小小的綠燈——燈影婆娑中,住著心愛的黛西。然而,冰冷的現實容不下縹緲的夢,到頭來,蓋茨比心中的女神隻不過是凡塵俗世的物質女郎。當一切真相大白,蓋茨比的悲劇人生亦如煙花般,璀璨隻是一瞬,幻滅纔是永恒。一闋華麗的“爵士時代”的挽歌,在菲茨傑拉德筆下,如詩如夢,在美國當代文學史上留下瞭墨色濃重的印痕。
In 1922, F Scott Fitzgerald announced his decision to write "something new--something extraordinary and beautiful and simple, intricately patterned". That extraordinary, beautiful, intricately patterned and, above all, simple novel became The Great Gatsby, arguably Fitzgerald's finest work and certainly the book for which he is best known. A portrait of the Jazz Age in all of its decadence and excess, Gatsby captured the spirit of the author's generation and earned itself a permanent place in American mythology. Self-made, self-invented millionaire Jay Gatsby embodies some of Fitzgerald's--and his country's--most abiding obsessions: money, ambition, greed and the promise of new beginnings. "Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgiastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that's no matter--tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther... And one fine morning--" Gatsby's rise to glory and eventual fall from grace be comes a kind of cautionary tale about the American Dream.
It's also a love story, of sorts, the narrative of Gatsby's quixotic passion for Daisy Buchanan. The pair meet five years before the novel begins, when Daisy is a legendary young Louisville beauty and Gatsby an impoverished officer. They fall in love, but while Gatsby serves overseas, Daisy marries the brutal, bullying but extremely rich Tom Buchanan. After the war, Gatsby devotes himself blindly to the pursuit of wealth by whatever means--and to the pursuit of Daisy, which amounts to the same thing. "Her voice is full of money," Gatsby says admiringly, in one of the novel's more famous descriptions. His millions made, Gatsby buys a mansion across Long Island Sound from Daisy's patrician East Egg address, throws lavish parties and waits for her to appear. When s he does, events unfold with all the tragic inevitability of a Greek drama, with detached, cynical neighbour Nick Carraway acting as chorus throughout. Spare, elegantly plotted and written in crystalline prose, The Great Gatsby is as perfectly satisfying as the best kind of poem. Perry Freeman, Amazon.com
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...
評分《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...
評分“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...
評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...
評分最近看《了不起的盖茨比》,想起乔伊斯的《阿拉比》,小男孩爱上了同学的姐姐,做梦里这女孩都在闪金光,女孩老提有个阿拉比的市场,听上去充满了东方神秘的色彩,和女孩一样闪闪发光,小男孩于是发花痴,一定要到那市场去给女孩买件东西,于是一番折腾,汽车,火车,走错路,...
因為村上的挪威的森林看的這本.不喜歡.
评分一個男人的孤獨,芮成剛
评分It does not proclaim the nobility of the human spirit; it is not politically correct; it does not reveal how to solve the problems of life; it delivers no fashionable or comforting messages. It is just a masterpiece.
评分the abortive sorrows and short-winded elations of men...最後一章的那個時間錶真是戳中哭點看得我碎瞭一地玻璃心T-T
评分" Lover, gold-hatted, high-bouncing lover, i must have you !"
