內容簡介

蓋茨比的故事一直以來被認為是「美國夢」的崛起、旺盛與衰落的標准象征。這個故事具有全部才子佳人傳奇的必要元素——美如夢幻的女主角,貌若桃李,心如蛇蠍;超凡脫俗的男主角,出身貧寒,一鳴驚人;揮金如土的生活,悲慘凄涼的結局。它以一種獨特的文學視野和新穎的表現風格,深刻揭示了「爵士時代」的「美國夢」破滅的根源,把戰後美國經濟繁榮時期在拜金主義生活潮流掩蓋下的自私、冷漠的人性本質表現得淋漓盡致。蓋茨比之所以「了不起」,就是因為在戰後繁華的美國,在人們縱情享樂、奢華驕逸的社會風尚里,他依然真誠而執著地等待、追求著心中珍藏的聖潔之愛。但是,在那個物欲橫流的社會環境里,無論是蓋茨比、黛西,還是湯姆,對愛情的追求、付出與轉移,都跟金錢和地位有著不可分割的聯系。蓋茨比生前的豪宅里高朋滿座,死後卻只有尼克這個窮朋友幫他張羅喪事,即使是他最親密的生意伙伴,也拒絕出席他的葬禮。
