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 Fitzgerald's masterful scrutiny of American society during the 1920s and the corruption of the American dream.

F. Scott Fitzgerald's 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 God's, "see everything"? And what are we to make of the novel's unobtrusive symbolism (the green light, the colour of American dollar bills, which burns at the end of Daisy's 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.

We will return to this aspect of the novel in more detail later on. However, we also need to be aware that it is a novel which has much to be say about more abstract questions to do with faith, belief and illusion. Although rooted in the "Jazz Age" which Fitzgerald is so often credited with naming, it is also a novel which should be considered alongside works like The Waste Land, exploring that "hollowness at the heart of things" which lies just below the surface of modern life.

Eliot himself remarked that the novel "interested and excited me more than any new novel I have seen, either English or American, for a number of years". Viewed from more distant perspectives it is possible to see Gatsby as an archetypally tragic figure, the epitome of idealism and innocence which strives for order, purpose and meaning in a chaotic and hostile world. In this sense Gatsby contains religious and metaphysical dimensions: the young man who shapes a "Platonic vision of himself" and who endows the worthless figure of Daisy with religious essence, eventually passes away into nothingness, with few at the funeral to lament the passing of his romantic dream.

Written by American novelist F.Scott Fitzgerald and first published in 1925,the setting of The Great Gatsby is at both Long Island's North Shore and New York City,during the period immediately after the First World War.

The American economy soared during these "roaring" 1920s and society enjoyed the subsequent prosperity.This period was also the first to have Prohibition,which,by banning the sale and manufacture of alcohol,conversely made millionaires out of bootleggers.The Great Gatsby was republished in both 1945 and 1953 and increased its already-wide readership.Even to the present day,The Great Gatsby is deemed a literary classic and regarded as a quintessential Great American Novel.The Modern Library named it the second best novel of the 20th Century.[

　　Plot summary

　　The main events of the novel take place in the summer of 1922.Nick Carraway,aYale graduate and World War I veteran from the Midwest — who serves as the novel's narrator — takes a job in New York as a bond salesman.He rents a small house on Long Island,in the (fictional) village of West Egg,next door to the lavish mansion of Jay Gatsby,a mysterious millionaire who holds extravagant parties.Nick drives around the bay to East Egg for dinner at the home of his cousin,Daisy Buchanan,and her husband,Tom,a college acquaintance of Nick's.They introduce Nick to Jordan Baker,an attractive,cynical young golfer with whom Nick begins a romantic relationship.She reveals to Nick that Tom has a mistress,Myrtle Wilson,who lives in the "valley of ashes":an industrial dumping ground between West Egg and New York City.Not long after this revelation,Nick travels to New York City with Tom and Myrtle to an apartment they keep for their affair.At the apartment,a vulgar and bizarre party ends with Tom breaking Myrtle's nose after she taunts Tom about Daisy.

　　As the summer progresses,Nick eventually receives an invitation to one of Gatsby's parties.Nick encounters Jordan Baker at the party,and they meet Gatsby himself,an aloof and surprisingly young man who recognizes Nick from their same division in the war.Through Jordan,Nick later learns that Gatsby knew Daisy from a romantic encounter in 1917 and is deeply in love with her.He spends many nights staring at the green light at the end of her dock,across the bay from his mansion,hoping to one day rekindle their lost romance.Gatsby's extravagant lifestyle and wild parties are an attempt to impress Daisy in the hopes that she will one day appear again at Gatsby's doorstep.Gatsby now wants Nick to arrange a reunion between himself and Daisy.Nick invites Daisy to have tea at his house,without telling her that Gatsby will also be there.After an initially awkward reunion,Gatsby and Daisy reestablish their connection.They begin an affair and,after a short time,Tom grows increasingly suspicious of his wife's relationship with Gatsby.At a luncheon at the Buchanans' house,Gatsby stares at Daisy with such undisguised passion that Tom realizes Gatsby is in love with her.Though Tom is himself involved in an extramarital affair,he is outraged by his wife's infidelity.He forces the group to drive into New York City,where he confronts Gatsby in a suite at thePlaza Hotel.Tom asserts that he and Daisy have a history that Gatsby could never understand.In addition to that,he announces to his wife that Gatsby is a criminal whose fortune comes from bootlegging alcohol and other illegal activities.Daisy realizes that her allegiance is to Tom,and Tom contemptuously sends her back to East Egg with Gatsby,attempting to prove that Gatsby cannot hurt him.

　　　　.

　　When Nick,Jordan,and Tom drive through the valley of ashes,however,they discover that Gatsby's car has struck and killed Myrtle,Tom's lover.Nick later learns from Gatsby that Daisy was driving the car at the time of the accident,but that Gatsby intends to take the blame.The next day,Tom tells Myrtle's husband,George,that Gatsby was the driver of the car.George,who has leapt to the conclusion that the driver of the car that killed Myrtle must have been her lover,tracks Gatsby to his mansion and fatally shoots both Gatsby and then himself.Nick then stages an upsettingly small funeral for Gatsby,ends his relationship with Jordan,and moves back to the Midwest disillusioned with the Eastern lifestyle.
