The Great Gatsby

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.

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.

读后感

Ⅰ、Introduction The Great Gatsby is written by American author F. Scott. Fitzgerald, who is considered a member of the “lost generation” of the Twenties. It was first published on 1925. The following is the main plot of the novel. A young man name...  

《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...  

“爵士时代的挽歌”之类的说法，对The Great Gatsby是个蹩脚的评价。且不说这部小说出版时，距大萧条还有四年多的时间，这个故事的背景，也完全可以放在1900年代、50年代、80、90年代，以及刚刚过去这个十年的中期。唯一可以勉强与爵士时代挂上钩的，或许只有Fitzgerald华丽而...

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...  

在黛西和盖茨比终于再次相会的那个午后。黛西：我们有好多年没见了。盖茨比：到11月刚好五年。（我忘了原文是否如此。我没有照原文引用。）作为在场者的尼克立刻意识到，盖茨比的应答让气氛变得无比尴尬。 一定有人对此会心一笑。 几十年后1997年的某个下午，A问B他女朋友C的...  

用户评价

盖茨比的悲剧告诉我们，男人不能为情所困。

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。

这本书到底好看在哪里啊？文笔也不是很好啊。。。

不只是关于美国梦的破灭，而更是关于喧哗与骚动后的幻灭和虚妄。小说的中心随着叙述的推进层层显现：盖茨比的发家，然后是他的爱情，然后是破灭，最终归结于虚妄——这个最深层的中心在最后一页才突然显现出来照亮了全篇。第一人称参与者的视角、大量的间接描写和侧面描写在长篇小说中前所未见，一开始效果并不明显，后来渐入佳境。（《包法利夫人》、《活着》以及很多19世纪的俄国中短篇小说都以第一人称旁观者开始，但是很快就转换到了常规的第三人称活着第一人称视角）

这本书到底好看在哪里啊？文笔也不是很好啊。。。
