二十世紀美國最傑齣的作傢之一,以詩人和夢想傢的氣質為“爵士時代”吟唱華麗挽歌。短短四十四年的人生,他的遭際幾經跌宕起伏,在名利場中看盡世態炎涼。二十世紀末,美國學術界權威在百年英語長河中選齣一百部最優秀的小說,凝聚瞭菲茨傑拉德纔華橫溢的兩部長篇小說《瞭不起的蓋茨比》和《夜色溫柔》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."

一個作傢的宿命往往歸於他的作品之中,這似乎成瞭一個魔咒。英國作傢奧斯卡王爾德的一生潛藏在他的《道連格雷的畫像》之中,而菲茨傑拉德的一生則潛藏在他的《瞭不起的蓋茨比》之中。之所以在這裏提到王爾德,不僅因為他和菲氏都是我最愛的兩個作傢,還因為《人間天堂》的...
評分第一章 Amory Blaine inherited from his mother every trait, except the stray inexpressible few, that made him worth while. His father, an ineffectual, inarticulate man with a taste for Byron and a habit of drowsing over the Encyclopedia Britannica, grew we...
評分有時你會羨慕那種目空一切的自命不凡,看起來並沒有大傢所標籤齣來那麼典型的“迷惘一代”。至少這類人始終做夢夢到自己處於轉變的過程中,現在的世界已經不那麼去想到底轉變完成瞭沒有。不過像艾默裏那樣極端的放縱或剋製,好像一下子把生命的張力撐得有厚度瞭許多。在來迴自...

評分原先買譯著都是首選上海譯文,以為老牌子靠得住,但這本金紹禹翻譯的《人間天堂》真是讓人忍無可忍!作為一個著作不算少的譯者,怎麼能連人話都不會說呢!!!我對比瞭英文原文,發現人傢說的是人話呀!!而且說得很好!!!這麼好的一本書,全被譯者糟蹋瞭啊!!!不論是譯者...
