　　The Wordsworth Classics covers a huge list of beloved works of literature in English and translations. This growing series is rigorously updated, with scholarly introductions and notes added to new titles.
　　
　　This novel is a summary of the "roaring twenties", and a devastating expose of the "Jazz Age". Through the narration of Nick Carraway, it explores the superficially glittering world of mansions on the Long Island shore, and his encounter with Jay Gatsby and the mystery that surrounds him.
　　
　　
　　"He talked a lot about the past and I gathered that he wanted to recover something, some idea of himself perhaps, that had gone into loving Daisy. His life had been confused and disordered since then, but if he could once return to a certain starting place and go over it all slowly, he could find out what that thing was . . ."
　　
　　The Great Gatsby (1925), F. Scott Fitzgerald's masterpiece, stands among the greatest of all American fiction. Jay Gatsby's lavish lifestyle in a mansion on Long Island's gold coast encapsulates the spirit, excitement, and violence of the era Fitzgerald named `the Jazz Age'. Impelled by his love for Daisy Buchanan, Gatsby seeks nothing less than to recapture the moment five years earlier when his best and brightest dreams - his `unutterable visions' - seemed to be incarnated in her kiss.
　　
　　A moving portrayal of the power of romantic imagination, as well as the pathos and courage entailed in the pusuit of an unattainable dream, The Great Gatsby is a classic fiction of hope and disillusion. This edition is fully annotated with a fine Introduction incorporating new interpretation and detailing Fitzgerald's struggle to write the novel, its critical reception and its significance for future generations.
　　
　　
　　In 1922, F. Scott Fitzgerald announced his decision to write "something new--something extraordinary and beautiful and simple + intricately patterned." That extraordinary, beautiful, intricately patterned, and above all, simple novel became The Great Gatsby, arguably Fitzgerald's finest work and certainly the book for which he is best known. A portrait of the Jazz Age in all of its decadence and excess, Gatsby captured the spirit of the author's generation and earned itself a permanent place in American mythology. Self-made, self-invented millionaire Jay Gatsby embodies some of Fitzgerald's--and his country's--most abiding obsessions: money, ambition, greed, and the promise of new beginnings. "Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgiastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that's no matter--tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther.... And one fine morning--" Gatsby's rise to glory and eventual fall from grace becomes a kind of cautionary tale about the American Dream.
　　
　　It's also a love story, of sorts, the narrative of Gatsby's quixotic passion for Daisy Buchanan. The pair meet five years before the novel begins, when Daisy is a legendary young Louisville beauty and Gatsby an impoverished officer. They fall in love, but while Gatsby serves overseas, Daisy marries the brutal, bullying, but extremely rich Tom Buchanan. After the war, Gatsby devotes himself blindly to the pursuit of wealth by whatever means--and to the pursuit of Daisy, which amounts to the same thing. "Her voice is full of money," Gatsby says admiringly, in one of the novel's more famous descriptions. His millions made, Gatsby buys a mansion across Long Island Sound from Daisy's patrician East Egg address, throws lavish parties, and waits for her to appear. When she does, events unfold with all the tragic inevitability of a Greek drama, with detached, cynical neighbor Nick Carraway acting as chorus throughout. Spare, elegantly plotted, and written in crystalline prose, The Great Gatsby is as perfectly satisfying as the best kind of poem.
　　
　　
　　Christopher Reeve's smooth rhythm and soft-spoken tone accentuate Fitzgerald's flowing, elegant style. Since his character is an onlooker to events which take place in Gatsby's glittering but superficial world, Reeve also projects an appropriate distant quality. However, his vocal attempts to make each character well-defined seem to be an overwhelming task for one reader. Occasionally, it is hard to tell which character is speaking. Nonetheless, Reeve's ability to accurately evoke the emotions of the characters transcends this flaw. As a result, he delivers a noteworthy performance. M.P.T.
　　
　　
　　F. Scott Fitzgerald was born in St. Paul, Minnesota, in 1896, attended Princeton University, and published his first novel, This Side of Paradise, in 1920. That same year he married Zelda Sayre and the couple divided their time between New York, Paris, and the Riviera, becoming a part of the American expatriate circle that included Gertrude Stein, Ernest Hemingway, and John Dos Passos. Fitzgerald was hailed early on as a major new voice in American fiction; his other novels include The Beautiful and Damned and Tender Is the Night. He died of a heart attack in 1940 at the age of forty-four, while working on The Love of the Last Tycoon.

每一颗微不足道或者洋洋得意的心
柏邦妮

撕开一本《MILK》的内页，给我的几本菲茨杰拉德包上了书皮。最近又重新对他着迷。重读了《了不起的盖茨比》，又重读了《夜色温柔》，以及那些我最中意的他的短篇，每一个不同的翻译者，都让文章泛出不同的温柔光彩。昨天和今天一直在读《了不起的盖茨比》。故事惊人的高效率，充满了戏剧性，巧合，紧凑的张力， ...... (33回应)

与盖茨比相逢
xi

一直都不怎么喜欢菲茨杰拉德，直到喜欢上了村上春树。在这之前，印象中的菲茨杰拉德是这样一个作家：阴柔、华美，热衷于书写贵公子和美丽的南方女郎的爱情游戏。那时候，一说起20世纪上半期的美国文学，就会想到海明威和福克纳。从他们的小说中，我看到两人的缄默和隐藏在其后的蓬勃力量，只是一个表现得简洁，一个太过繁复。我一...... (32回应)

这人生，这虚无
水木丁

最近看《了不起的盖茨比》，想起乔伊斯的《阿拉比》，小男孩爱上了同学的姐姐，做梦里这女孩都在闪金光，女孩老提有个阿拉比的市场，听上去充满了东方神秘的色彩，和女孩一样闪闪发光，小男孩于是发花痴，一定要到那市场去给女孩买件东西，于是一番折腾，汽车，火车，走错路，等等，最后，到了阿拉比，突然发现，那是一个庸俗简陋超级破败的地方...... (18回应)

画皮记
张佳玮

给DAISY，TOM，NICK，JORDAN，以及死去的（虽然只是在小说中）GATSBY。最初，教他画皮时，他的师傅就说，这是门危险的艺术。这话像是对自己死期的预言。某一秋，师傅咳嗽了一个黄昏后死去，医生解剖，说他的肺被颜料的烟云熏得五颜六色，像是调色盘。以前，他负责整理画皮，师傅负责具体绘画。此后...... (15回应)

等待的哀歌
黄昏的星

等待的哀歌当我翻完《了不起的盖茨比》的最后一页，我莫名其妙的回忆起一年前的一个秋夜阅读果戈理《涅瓦大街》的情景，当我在涅瓦大街迷人的街灯和喧闹的人群中目睹一个纯真又孱弱的年轻人的激情被现实的荒谬彻底击碎的时候，我感到一种难以名状的情绪令我无处遁形，庇斯卡辽夫以其全部的生命追求一瞥而来爱情，但是迷人的姑娘却变成了...... (7回应)

我们没有错
四葉

我们都曾坚持过什么，也许已经忘记，也许仍旧铭记却无力实现。用了一周多的时间把这本书看了三遍，对于从来不看打着世界名著标签的书的自己，对于已经变得懒惰又恶俗的自己实属不易。这仅仅是一个梦碎的故事，所有的情节所有的人物所有的跌宕也不过是为码头尽头的那盏绿灯的熄灭铺垫的。这本书让我感到一种委屈。为我们...... (7回应)

还是直接引用村上春树的话就好
飞舞的尘埃

在《挪威的森林》中，村上春树是这么写的：对１８岁那年的我来说，最欣赏的书是阿珀达依库的《半人马座α星》。但在反复阅读的时间里，它逐渐失去最初的光彩，而把至高无上的地位让给了菲茨杰拉德的《了不起的盖茨比》。而且《了不起的盖茨比》对我始终是绝好的作品。兴之所至，我便习惯性地从书架中抽出《了不起的盖茨比》，信手翻开一页，读......

写景很美
viennawong(concentrated & hard working)

记得以前哪里看来的论调说，中国人之所以没有在科学技术上形成现代传统，是因为用中文论述太枯燥，不如拉丁、日耳曼语族铿锵韵律。文学写作中看来不假。以前往往看翻译的写景描写，就觉得异常乏味。连受欧美文学影响极深的现代文也是如此比如x名昭著的《荷塘月色》当初我连看都打恶心。原著就不同了。其实并无多大实质内容，但因为音......

算起来
boericss(from Zero to Hero)

算起来，这已经是我第三遍读The Great Gatsbay了。如果算上那部英国人拍的电影版，那就是第四遍了。电影是完全按照小说拍的，并不是随意改变的那种。对于电影的情节，我已经没什么印象了，因为它和小说是几乎一样的。现在仍然停留在我脑中的画面就只有T.J.Eckleburg大夫的那双大眼镜（睛），也许这是把The G......

几宗罪
水之荇荇(须尽欢，莫后悔。)

今天看的三联的七宗罪系列之《贪吃》和《嫉妒》，不同的作者，不约而同的提到了《了不起的盖茨比》。　　恰恰在前天刚看完大名鼎鼎的盖茨比，一直不敢相信就是这样一个简单的故事，会让这么多人当做教科书一般研读。到了本书的2/3处才慢慢看出了味道，也许他把人性的罪恶都用喜悦的春末去霉式的晒太阳晒了出来吧......
