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.

評分 評分寫在前麵 《瞭不起的蓋茨比》是打動我最深、對我影響最大的五部小說之一。有時候會有朋友問我:“我也讀過這本書啊,沒覺得有那麼齣眾啊,怎麼會對你如此這般?”。我仔細思考過這個問題,然後很慶幸的發現,我是在自己人生的最閤適的階段讀到瞭這本書。 如果我是在25歲第一次...
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《瞭不起的蓋茨比》把故事講得好極,我就隻就故事說說故事吧,因為據說其最精妙之處在於語言,可對於譯著讀者,那是很難去談的。 菲茨傑拉德把蓋茨比的故事講得張馳相宜、收放自若,而且精細嚴謹、流暢雅緻。人物個個形象鮮明,無論對話、行為還是心理,都生動傳神。其內在邏...
