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

前几天，有朋友问我，你相信命运是注定的么？我说，我相信性格决定命运，而性格是天生的。 盖茨比是谁？盖茨比是德国皇帝的表亲，盖茨比是德国间谍，盖茨比是杀人犯，盖茨比是西半岛的特里马尔乔--无休止的舞会供应者。可我们知道，盖茨比不是杰伊·盖茨比，盖茨比是詹姆...  

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...  

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...

I don't like Fitzgerald's style very much. But this novel seems better than Salinger's _Catcher in the Rye_, which is almost as boring as _Pride and Prejudice_.
