《了不起的盖茨比》(名著名译插图本)弗·司各特·菲茨杰拉德(1896-1940),美国二十世纪最杰出的作家之一。《了不起的盖茨比》是他最著名的代表作。二十世纪二十年代的美国,空气里弥漫着欢歌与纵饮的气息。一个偶然的机会,穷职员尼克闯入了挥金如土的大富翁盖茨比隐秘的世界,惊讶地发现,他内心惟一的牵绊竟是对河岸那盏小小的绿灯——灯影婆娑中,住着心爱的黛西。然而,冰冷的现实容不下缥缈的梦,到头来,盖茨比心中的女神只不过是凡尘俗世的物质女郎。当一切真相大白,盖茨比的悲剧人生亦如烟花般,璀璨只是一瞬,幻灭才是永恒。一阕华丽的“爵士时代”的挽歌,在菲茨杰拉德笔下,如诗如梦,在美国当代文学史上留下了墨色浓重的印痕。
When F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote THE GREAT GATSBY in the early 1920s, the American Dream was already on the skids. Originally based on the idea that the pursuit of happiness involves not only material success but moral and spiritual growth, the dream had by Fitzgerald's time become increasingly focused on money and pleasure-a phenomenon the high-living writer was only too familiar with. In THE GREAT GATSBY, Fitzgerald looks deeply into himself and his milieu to create the story of James Gatz, a self-educated nobody from North Dakota who has amassed a fortune and adopted the persona of Jay Gatsby, an Oxford-educated man about town, for the sole purpose of winning back the heart of Daisy, the woman he loved in his youth. Daisy is now married to Tom Buchanan-a brutal, ignorant racist who embodies the corruption that can come with unlimited wealth. As Gatsby, Daisy, and Tom-and the narrator, Daisy's cousin Nick Carroway, who serves as the author's spokesman-play out the drama in a small Long Island town (the East Hampton of its day), Fitzgerald makes it increasingly clear that life is meaningless when it is based on money and glamour at the expense of the solid American values of self-reliance and hard work-and Gatsby's sad end underscores the point. THE GREAT GATSBY has long been celebrated as the archetypal American novel, and, just as Fitzgerald's book grew out of the tradition that included Henry James and Edith Wharton, its influence on later writers from J. D. Salinger to John O'Hara cannot be overestimated. The book remains vividly alive and widely read years after its writing.
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...
评分很多年前,我在中国南方某个城市海边的一个高校演讲,讲完之后答问环节了,有一个年轻人起来举手,他说:“梁老师我不是来问问题的,我是要你看清楚我这张脸,你要记住我的名字,我叫什么什么什么。” 我觉得很有意思嘛,问他,这是为什么呢? 他说:“这是因为你会发现有一天...
评分盖茨比的死应该由谁来负责:是开枪的人?如果他是自杀的呢?还是说出肇事车是属于盖茨比从而达到嫁祸目的的汤姆·布坎农?还是守望者盖茨比的等待对象黛西?还是造梦者盖茨比本人? 汤姆·布坎农在三个场合遇到盖茨比,第一次盖茨比是尼克(他在文章里充当叙述者)的朋友,双...

评分撕开一本《MILK》的内页,给我的几本菲茨杰拉德包上了书皮。 最近又重新对他着迷。 重读了《了不起的盖茨比》,又重读了《夜色温柔》, 以及那些我最中意的他的短篇,每一个不同的翻译者,都让文章泛出不同的温柔光彩。 昨天和今天一直在读《了不起的盖茨比》。 故事惊人的高...
多年前看过中文版,一直念念不忘。虽说不是菲茨杰拉德最让我喜爱的一部作品,但是的确是短小精悍却仍然让人唏嘘不已的精品。我总觉得菲茨杰拉德笔下的人多多少少都有他自己的影子,而他书里的女神多多少少也有zelda的影子。他总是能将辉煌建立于虚无,又重新摧毁至虚无,然后享受着在灰霾绝望里的情绪,他越自虐,我越爱他。
评分明明知道在往里陷,却不可能拔得出来
评分梦啊,追逐啊,永远没有尽头。
评分amazing language, reread to prepare for the film (like yelin did)
评分Kindle version 也许没有读懂
