大亨小傳

內容簡介

內容簡介 《大亨小傳》故事描述1922 年春天作家尼克·卡拉威離開中西部前往紐約市附近的西埃格(West Egg) 時，他被捲入了極其富有的鄰居傑伊·蓋茨比(Jay Gatsby)的耀眼世界。沒有人知道蓋茨比或他的錢從何而來，但他豪宅里的派對卻頗具傳奇色彩。蓋茨比高高在上，置身於紛爭之外，掃視著人群，特別尋找一個人——尼克美麗而神秘的表弟黛西·布坎南，她就住在海灣對面。《了不起的蓋茨比》是對爵士樂時代和美國夢的尖銳諷刺，也是二十世紀最偉大的小說之一，是斯科特·菲茨杰拉德職業生涯的決定性作品。When writer Nick Carraway leaves the Midwest for West Egg, near New York City, in the Spring of 1922, he is swept into the dazzling world of his fabulously wealthy neighbor, Jay Gatsby. No one knows where Gatsby or his money comes from, but the parties at his mansion are legendary. Aloof and above the fray, Gatsby scans the crowd for one person in particular—Nick’s beautiful, inscrutable cousin Daisy Buchanan, who lives right across the bay. A sharp satire of the Jazz Age and the American dream, and one of the twentieth century’s greatest novels, The Great Gatsby is the defining work of F. Scott Fitzgerald’ s career.
