《了不起的盖茨比》是20世纪美国著名作家菲茨吉拉德的代表作。被评为二十世纪一百部最佳英语小说的第一名,故事情节不是很吸引人,但里面有很多隐喻。书中描述了出身贫寒的盖茨比如何历尽艰辛不择手段地攫取财富最终从一个穷光蛋变成人们心中的“了不起”的豪富,却又如何苦苦追求初恋时由于贫穷而失去的情人的故事再现了美国20世纪爵士乐时代”的社会揭示了“美国梦”的诱惑和破灭。书中文字短小精悍,结构错落有致并以典型的场面和行动、简洁、抒情的语言和形象为读者提供了一部饱含韵味、极富美感的“最为动人的美国悲剧”。是一切希望了解美国社会与文化、提高英语理解与写作的人们必读的生动教材。它用凄婉的笔调抒写了战后“迷失的一代”对于“美国梦”感到幻灭的悲哀。直到今天《了不起的盖茨比》还是美国一部家喻户晓的经典。
