《了不起的盖茨比》是美国作家F.司各特·菲茨杰拉德的代表作。小说一经出版,一向以苛刻著称的著名诗人兼文艺评论家T.S.艾略特立刻称之为“美国小说自亨利·詹姆斯以来迈出的**步”。《了不起的盖茨比》以美国一战后纸醉金迷的狂欢为背景,描述了美国梦的幻灭。被美国蓝登书屋评为20世纪百部**小说之一,是青年人必读的经典小说。

作者简介

弗·司各特·菲茨杰拉德(1896-1940年),美国著名编剧,小说家,是“爵士时代”最重要的代表人。他的每一篇成功的作品都是诗人的敏感和戏剧家的想象力的结晶,都是他的艺术才能发挥到炉火纯青的产物。菲茨杰拉德塑造的人物形象大多是一群战后追求梦幻的青年男女,但他们在生活经历和精神世界方面都与作者有着密切的内在联系。从这些内在联系中,我们可以看到菲茨杰拉德从追求理想的“美国梦”到梦幻破灭的过程。菲茨杰拉德的魅力来自于他清晰的叙述,优雅的文风,多姿多彩、点铁成金的遣词造句,这种风格在他的短篇小说中得到了最 好的体现。菲茨杰拉德及其塑造的人物属于迷惘的一代,是“浮躁的20年代”(theroaring 20s)的代 言人。

"Well, I'm going to tell you something about my life," he interrupted."I don't want you to get a wrong idea ofme from all these stories you hear."
So he was aware of the bizarre accusations that fiavoured conversation in his halls.
"I'll tell you God's truth." His right hand suddenly ordered divine retribution to stand by."I am the son of some wealthy people in the Middle West—all dead now.I was brought up in America but educated at Oxford, because all my ancestors have been educated there for many years.It is a family tradition."
He looked at me sideways—and I knew why Jordan Baker had believed he was lying.He hurried the phrase "educated at Oxford," or swallowed it, or choked on it, as though it had bothered him before.And with this doubt, his whole statement fell to pieces, and I wondered if there wasn't something a little sinister about him, after all.
"What part of the Middle West?" I inquired casually.
"San Francisco."
"I see."
"My family all died and I came into a good deal ofmoney."
His voice was solemn, as if the memory of that sudden extinction of a clan still haunted him.For a moment I suspected that he was pulling my leg, but a glance at him convinced me otherwise.
"After that I lived like a young rajah in all the capitals of Europe—Paris, Venice, Rome—collecting jewels, cluefiy rubies,hunting big game, painting a little, things for myself only, and trying to forget something very sad that had happened to me long ago."
With an effort I managed to restrain my incredulous laughter.The very phrases were wom so threadbare that they evoked no image except that of a turbaned "character" leaking sawdust at every pore as he pursued a tiger through the Bois de Boulogne.
