二十世纪美国最杰出的作家之一,以诗人和梦想家的气质为“爵士时代”吟唱华丽挽歌。短短四十四年的人生,他的遭际几经跌宕起伏,在名利场中看尽世态炎凉。二十世纪末,美国学术界权威在百年英语长河中选出一百部最优秀的小说,凝聚了菲茨杰拉德才华横溢的两部长篇小说《了不起的盖茨比》和《夜色温柔》均榜上有名,前者更高居第二位。
This Side of Paradise is the book that established F. Scott Fitzgerald as the prophet and golden boy of the newly dawned Jazz Age. Published in 1920, when he was just twenty-three, the novel catapulted him to instant fame and financial success. The story of Amory Blaine, a privileged, aimless, and self-absorbed Princeton student, This Side of Paradise closely reflects Fitzgerald's own experiences as an undergraduate. Amory Blaine's journey from prep school to college to the First World War is an account of "the lost generation." The young "romantic egotist" symbolizes what Fitzgerald so memorably described as "a new generation grown up to find all Gods dead, all wars fought, all faiths in man shaken." A pastiche of literary styles, this dazzling chronicle of youth remains bitingly relevant decades later.
" This Side of Paradise commits almost every sin that a novel can possibly commit," wrote Edmund Wilson. "But it does not commit the unpardonable sin: it does not fail to live. The whole preposterous farrago is animated with life."
菲茨杰拉德在我看来是美国二十世纪前半叶最伟大的三个作家之一。与早早就在国内享有盛名的海明威与福克纳不同,菲茨杰拉德被中国读者了解就要迟了很多,甚至很多中国读者开始知道菲茨杰拉德这个名字还是通过村上春树和他的《挪威的森林》。 相对于海明威的硬汉风格、简练...
评分“Reform won’t catch up to the needs of civilization unless it’s made to. A laissez-faire policy is like spoiling a child by saying he’ll turn out all right in the end. He will - if he’s made to.” The undeniable befuddlement in the Jazz Age gets transf...
评分1 这是一个极富洞察力的自传故事,也是一本富有教益的成长小说。他所呈现的不是一部壮阔的社会讽刺画卷,而是一部自我完善的个人史诗。在书中,菲茨杰拉德化身艾默里在每一章去认识一些人,了解一点自己,看清一些事实,明白一些道理,终于成长为几代人为之着迷的天才。他的成...
评分清明哪也没去,朋友问我,我回答是在学校静修了,听得我好像出家了似的。不过一开始确实是打算捧本书将自己笼闭一室之内,夙兴夜寐,昏天暗地读上它几天。但终还是耐不了利益的诱惑,也是由于生计所迫,又蹬上车子教课去了,为那一块八分钱出卖自己的时间和精力。晚上回来,住...
