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."

評分“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...
評分大學的時候讀過菲茨傑拉德的《美麗與毀滅》,書中都是諷刺,那時的我沒見過滿紙都是諷刺的書,驚為奇書,驚為最好看的小說。《人間天堂》也是,到處都是諷刺,比如描寫艾倫比: 目空一切的神態,仿佛他已意識到這所大學今年希望全都落在他的身上似的,仿佛人們都在期待著他用他...
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...
