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.
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.
So we beat on,boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
评分原文华丽流畅,描述事件充满画面感,内心感受饱含蛋蛋忧伤。抓人物细节简洁有力,遣词造句有诗歌的节奏。Fitzgerald一气呵成有如神助,是那种孔乙己式的扎心作品。中文翻译丢了诗意,这个写作巅峰只可以被敬仰,难以被超越。
评分追求爱情,总比追求金钱地位什么好一些吧;并不是因为前者高尚,而是难以达到。
评分无论读多少遍,都觉得还是那么好。
评分En 1st. 往事不可追。无法想象为什么Gatsby 对 Daisy 的爱那么炽热,书里几乎没有写到他们的思想交流,作者只是告诉读者他们过去发生了什么(无知可爱的妙龄女郎与帅气清贫的军官两情相悦),却从未展现他们心中所想。看过电影再看原著,Gatsby人生舞台谢幕的方式还蛮让人唏嘘的,他风光无限时,各类摩登男女出入府邸,声色犬马酒池肉林,待他被枪杀后,都凑不出几个人参加他的葬礼。唉,人生在世,最后一程终究是要自己走的。看着 Gatsby 的父亲 Mr. Gaz 白发人送黑发人,非常心酸。
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 评分《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...
评分写在前面 《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...
