Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald (September 24, 1896 – December 21, 1940) was an American author of novels and short stories, whose works are the paradigm writings of the Jazz Age, a term he coined himself. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest American writers of the 20th century.[1] 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 most famous—and Tender Is the Night. A fifth, unfinished novel, The Love of the Last Tycoon, was published posthumously. Fitzgerald also wrote many short stories that treat themes of youth and promise along with despair and age.
In 1922, F. Scott Fitzgerald announced his decision to write "something new--something extraordinary and beautiful and simple and 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 becomes 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 she does, events unfold with all the tragic inevitability of a Greek drama, with detached, cynical neighbor 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.
《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...
評分看《了不起的盖茨比》完全是因为对村上君的爱,在书的封腰上,村上这样评价这本书“作为小说家,我把它看作一个标准,一把尺子,是看清自己位置的一件标志,然后有时叹息,有时又全身紧张,就好像命中注定一样始终牵扯着我。说是不可思议也行,但如果小说里没有了不可思议,又...
評分我们都曾坚持过什么,也许已经忘记,也许仍旧铭记却无力实现。 用了一周多的时间把这本书看了三遍,对于从来不看打着世界名著标签的书的自己,对于已经变得懒惰又恶俗的自己实属不易。 这仅仅是一个梦碎的故事,所有的情节所有的人物所有的跌宕也不过是为码头尽头的那盏绿灯...

蓋茨比所追求的東西真得和世人所不同?即便他所追尋得是一種柏拉圖式的臆想和永恒,但他將這種價值賦於在一個女子身上,難道不注定瞭他的天真和最後的悲劇?夢幻的破滅不在於他人,而在於自身。尼剋和蓋茨比都沒有看清。
评分原文華麗流暢,描述事件充滿畫麵感,內心感受飽含蛋蛋憂傷。抓人物細節簡潔有力,遣詞造句有詩歌的節奏。Fitzgerald一氣嗬成有如神助,是那種孔乙己式的紮心作品。中文翻譯丟瞭詩意,這個寫作巔峰隻可以被敬仰,難以被超越。
评分En 1st. 往事不可追。無法想象為什麼Gatsby 對 Daisy 的愛那麼熾熱,書裏幾乎沒有寫到他們的思想交流,作者隻是告訴讀者他們過去發生瞭什麼(無知可愛的妙齡女郎與帥氣清貧的軍官兩情相悅),卻從未展現他們心中所想。看過電影再看原著,Gatsby人生舞颱謝幕的方式還蠻讓人唏噓的,他風光無限時,各類摩登男女齣入府邸,聲色犬馬酒池肉林,待他被槍殺後,都湊不齣幾個人參加他的葬禮。唉,人生在世,最後一程終究是要自己走的。看著 Gatsby 的父親 Mr. Gaz 白發人送黑發人,非常心酸。
评分前半段太久,後三分之一開始高能。日光之下並無新事。每一個自己打拼的人都懂。相比之下電影都不怎麼樣。
评分cannot be better
