今天，小编想为大家带来自己非常喜欢的，也是镌刻着美国一段时代印记的作者——菲茨杰拉德。
弗朗西斯·斯科特·基·菲茨杰拉德（Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald，1896年9月24日－1940年12月21日），20世纪美国作家、编剧。1920年出版了长篇小说《The Side of Paradise（人间天堂）》，因其中对时代活灵活现的描写而走红。1925年《The Great Gatsby（了不起的盖茨比）》出版，奠定了他在文学史上的地位，成为美国20年代“爵士时代”的代表作家之一。1929年美国经济大萧条爆发，属于菲茨杰拉德的时代也渐渐逝去，其于1934年出版的《Tender is the Night（夜色温柔）》已不负盛名。
接下来给大家推荐的正是以上这代表了菲茨杰拉德跌宕起伏的一生的三本著作。
It’s an autobiography of F · Scott’s early years and it’s a portrayal of the Lost Generation. The protagonist of the story, emery, was born in a noble family. He is extremely conceited and wants to climb to the top of society and marry a beautiful girl. Several love failures and other unfortunate events make him turn to alcohol and become confused all day. At the end of the novel, Emory stands alone at the gate of his former school, feeling that he has lost too much and is hard to make up for. At the same time, he began to realise the value of life because of all kinds of twists on the road of life.
From the perspective of Nick, this novel narrates the story of his cousin Daisy and Gatsby: Gatsby is a poor boy who dreams of being outstanding since childhood. When he was young, he became a lieutenant and fell in love with Daisy, a rich girl. When he returned from overseas after the war, Daisy had married with Tom Buchanan, a very rich dandy. Gatsby firmly believed that money had changed Daisy's heart. Therefore, Gatsby determined to become rich. Finally, he succeeded and attracted Daisy's attention. However, Daisy had transferred her affection to another and was only seeking stimulation for her unhappy marriage. Finally, Gatsby became a ghost under the gun in order to be the scapegoat for daisy. Nick saw the ugly social reality of the upper class and resolutely returned home.
Dick is a young and promising psychiatrist from the United States. He studies the pathology of psychosis in Zurich. In the process of his treatment for Nicole, a wealthy girl, they both fell in love. Dick married Nicole regardless of other people's dissuasion. After marriage, he spent all his energy on taking care of his wife, but his career gradually deserted. Nicole recovered slowly under Dick's careful care, while Dick's physical and mental fatigue was gradually declining. Later, he had a love affair with a girl named Rosemary, while Nicole was having fun with rich young man Tommy. Finally, Nicole divorced with Dick and married with Tommy; Dick returned home for the rest of his life.
菲茨杰拉德的小说创作是一种有自传倾向的自我体验式写作。他以自己的现实生活为基础，通过自己的小说创作细致地描画自己所处的时代和社会风貌，从而真实地再现了“爵士时代。菲茨杰拉德的大部分小说都是以他自己的生活经历为蓝本，或是出于他个人对人生的情感体验，或是包含了他自己人生经历中的一部分，从另一层面来说也是一种精神寄托。
菲茨杰拉德小说中的每一个人物，都表现出激烈的思想情感冲突。而这些人物的思想情感，实际上都是菲茨杰拉德个人自我意识的不同表现。通过他笔下的那些主人公，能感受到菲茨杰拉德对现实的犹豫和惋惜，对个人成功、金钱财富的追求，也能看到了他对美好事物的珍惜和赞美，对社会阴暗面以及人性中的邪恶的批判。他对自我、他人以及整个时代、社会的矛盾情感使他总在现实生活和自我理想的中间徘徊。对于战后的全新的繁华时代，菲茨杰拉德力图融入到这个社会中去，并且真实地描写他所看到的这个新的时代和在这个新时代中人们的新的生活方式，同时通过自己的作品让人们感受到生活中善的一面。
