F.Scott Fitzgerald was born in St Paul, Minnesota in 1896. He studied at Princeton University before joining the army in 1917. In 1920 he married Zelda Sayre. Their traumatic relationship and subsequent breakdowns became a major influence on his writing. Among his publications were five novels: This Side of Paradise, The Great Gatsby, The Beautiful and the Damned, Tender is the Night and the Last Tycoon (his last and unfinished work); six volumes of short stories and The Crack-Up, a selection of autobiographical pieces. F. Scott Fitzgerald died suddenly in 1940.
There was music from my neighbour's house through the summer nights. In his blue gardens men and girls came and went like moths among the whisperings and the champagne and the stars'. Everybody who is anybody is seen at the glittering parties held in millionaire Jay Gatsby's mansion in West Egg, east of New York. The riotous throng congregates in his sumptuous garden, coolly debating Gatsby's origins and mysterious past. None of the frivolous socialites understands him and among various rumours is the conviction that 'he killed a man'. A detached onlooker, Gatsby is oblivious to the speculation he creates, but always seems to be watching and waiting, though no one knows what for. As the tragic story unfolds, Gatsby's destructive dreams and passions are revealed, leading to disturbing consequences. A brilliant evocation of 1920s high society, "The Great Gatsby" peels away the layers of this glamorous world to display the coldness and cruelty at its heart.

看《瞭不起的蓋茨比》完全是因為對村上君的愛,在書的封腰上,村上這樣評價這本書“作為小說傢,我把它看作一個標準,一把尺子,是看清自己位置的一件標誌,然後有時嘆息,有時又全身緊張,就好像命中注定一樣始終牽扯著我。說是不可思議也行,但如果小說裏沒有瞭不可思議,又...
評分如果不是想要為去電影院看無字幕的原版片做pre-reading,我大概是永遠不會去讀這樣一本標題樸實且並不怎麼有吸引力的小說的吧。 這本來是個簡單的故事,落魄的年輕軍官蓋茨比經過機遇與奮鬥成為瞭東岸最富有的人,他想要的一切不過是挽迴當年的愛人,而這一切因為愛人的...

評分 評分“爵士時代的挽歌”之類的說法,對The Great Gatsby是個蹩腳的評價。且不說這部小說齣版時,距大蕭條還有四年多的時間,這個故事的背景,也完全可以放在1900年代、50年代、80、90年代,以及剛剛過去這個十年的中期。唯一可以勉強與爵士時代掛上鈎的,或許隻有Fitzgerald華麗而...

三年過去重讀還是深深被震撼。這本書裏麵有很多類型的人的掙紮。喜歡主人公,還有Jordan。還有這個版本的封麵是在是太漂亮瞭。
評分And as the moon rose higher the inessential houses began to melt away until gradually I became aware of the old island here that flowered once for Dutch sailors' eyes-a fresh,green breast of the new world.
