Generally considered to be F. Scott Fitzgerald's finest novel, The Great Gatsby is a consummate summary of the 'roaring twenties' and a devastating expose of the 'Jazz Age'. Through the narration of Nick Carraway, the reader is taken into the superficially glittering world of the mansions which lined the Long Island shore of the American seaboard in the 1920s, to encounter Nick's cousin Daisy, Jay Gatsby and the dark mystery which surrounds him. The Great Gatsby is an undisputed classic of American literature from the period following the First World War and is one of the great novels of the twentieth century.
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.
The Great Gatsby has been the basis for numerous films of the same name, spanning nearly 90 years; 1926, 1949, 1974, 2000, and an upcoming 2013 adaptation. In 1958 his life from 1937–1940 was dramatized in Beloved Infidel.
写在前面 《了不起的盖茨比》是打动我最深、对我影响最大的五部小说之一。有时候会有朋友问我:“我也读过这本书啊,没觉得有那么出众啊,怎么会对你如此这般?”。我仔细思考过这个问题,然后很庆幸的发现,我是在自己人生的最合适的阶段读到了这本书。 如果我是在25岁第一次...
评分《了不起的盖茨比》中有一段非常普通的对话:第二章中,Tom带着Nick去见他的情妇Myrtle,随后三人一同坐火车前往纽约,在车站Myrtle看中了小贩兜售的一条狗,然后很矫情地问“Is it a boy or a girl?” Tom冷冷地回应“It's a bitch.” 李继宏居然翻译为“它是个婊子。”这是一...

评分等待的哀歌 当我翻完《了不起的盖茨比》的最后一页,我莫名其妙的回忆起一年前的一个秋夜阅读果戈理《涅瓦大街》的情景。当我在涅瓦大街迷人的街灯和喧闹的人群中目睹一个纯真又孱弱的年轻人的激情,被现实的荒谬彻底击碎的时候,我感到一种难以名状的情绪令我无处遁形。庇斯卡...
读这部大师级小说的英文原版,已经是这个月的事了。先在hoopla里下载了有声书,又巴巴去图书馆借了纸质版。一共九章,所以差三差五听一章。这一听不要紧,之前读中文译本时感受的肤浅,完全被还原成了金子琉璃。原作中用词的嬉笑怒骂,全在人物的“嚼舌根”里丰满起来,一个个换景写得漂亮极了,和所谓“纽约时报畅销书作家”那种隔靴搔痒的路数完全不一样。我突然理解了《了不起的盖茨比》的伟大,真是用极简单又准确的笔触,深刻地笑完了浮华世界大半场。就像当初读“眼见他起高楼,眼见他宴宾客,眼见他楼塌了”——不算完,笔锋一转,“这青苔碧瓦间,俺曾睡风流觉”。真是人间浮沉,不如开一支香槟,舞照跳马照跑,快活到老。
评分it has gone beyond her, beyond everything.
评分读完之后有种非常沉重的空旷感,一切都消失了,那些曾经涌向盖茨比的party的人们不计其数,其中却没有一人愿意参加他的葬礼。期待电影。
评分菲茨杰拉德的文字真漂亮,有种不动声色的华丽与残忍。
评分So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
