《了不起的盖茨比》 弗朗西斯·司各特·基·菲茨杰拉德 英文简介 The Great Gatsby was published in 1922 by F. Scott Fitzgerald. At first glance, the novel appears to be a simple love story, but further examination reveals Fitzgeralds masterful scrutiny of American society during the 1920s and the corruption of the American dream. F. Scott Fitzgeralds The Great Gatsby (1926) is, at first sight, a novel about love, idealism and disillusionment. However, it soon reveals its hidden depths and enigmas. What is the significance of the strange waste land between West Egg and New York, where Myrtle Wilson meets her death, an alien landscape presided over by the eyes of T J Eckleburg whose eyes, like Gods, see everything? And what are we to make of the novels unobtrusive symbolism (the green light, the colour of American dollar bills, which burns at the end of Daisys dock, the references to the elements - land, sea and earth - over which Gatby claims mastery, the contrast between East and West), or its subtle use of the personalised first narrator, the unassuming Nick Carraway? It is a novel which has intrigued and fascinated readers. Clearly, as a self-proclaimed tale of the West, it is exploring questions about America and what it means to be American. In this sense Gatsby is perhaps that legendary opus, the Great American Novel, following in the footsteps of works such as Moby Dick and Huckleberry Finn. 中文简介 　弗朗西斯·司各特·基·菲茨杰拉德（Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald，1896年9月24日－1940年12月21日），美国二十世纪最杰出的作家之一，《了不起的盖茨比》是其代表作。了 二十世纪二十年代的美国，空气里弥漫着欢歌与纵饮的气息。一个偶然的机会，穷职员尼克闯入了挥金如土的大富翁盖茨比隐秘的世界，惊讶地发现，他内心惟一的牵绊竟是河对岸那盏小小的绿灯——灯影婆娑中，住着心爱的黛西。然而，冰冷的现实容不下缥缈的梦，到头来，盖茨比心中的女神只不过是凡尘俗世的物质女郎。当一切真相大白，盖茨比的悲剧人生亦如烟花般，璀璨只是一瞬，幻灭才是永恒。一阕华丽的“爵士时代”的挽歌，在菲茨杰拉德笔下，如诗如梦，在美国当代文学史上留下了墨色浓重的印痕。二十世纪末，美国学术界权威在百年英语文学长河中选出一百部最优秀的小说，《了不起的盖茨比》众望所归，高居第二位，傲然跻身当代经典行列。小说采用印象派的描写手法，笔调既热烈又冷静，为奠定菲茨杰拉德在世界文学史上的地位起到了不可或缺的作用。 内容简介 尼克从中西部故乡来到纽约，在他住所旁边正是本书主人公盖茨比的豪华宅第。这里每晚都在举行盛大的宴会。尼克和盖茨比相识，故事就这样开始了。 尼克对盖茨比充满探究的兴趣。探究的结果是：尼克了解到盖茨比内心深处有一段不了之情。年轻时的盖茨比并不富有，他是一个少尉军官。他爱上了一位叫黛茜的姑娘，黛茜对他也
