This book collects short stories by American novelist Fitzgerald, which is known as a true portrayal of America's "Wild Age". This work was first published in 1926. At that time, the author fell into dual financial and marital crises, and his wife also suffered physical trauma. The resulting thoughts on the "difficulties of the times" are also concentrated in this work. The United States has experienced a prosperous "Jazz Age", with rapid development of material life, but there is a faint sense of uneasiness behind the extravagant life. Fitzgerald describes a group of exuberant young people who strive to pursue worldly fame and fortune until they achieve success, but lose the most important things in their hearts. The American dream that everyone once longed for is almost shattered. Fitzgerald's prediction of the times made him a representative writer of America's "Lost Generation".
Reader comments
"Look at the individual and you will find that you have unconsciously created a type; look at the type and you will find that nothing has been created."
"After he left, she wrote him long letters one after another, regretting that they had wasted so many days in vain, just waiting instead of loving each other."
"We have few similarities with dogs, and the need to disguise is one of them."
"When people gather together in the best place, everything begins to shine."
"Betraying faith is an unforgivable sin, but there is a prerequisite, that is, you are originally a devout believer."
"There are thousands of kinds of love in the world, but none of them can come back."
"As for the fact that what you care about is seven hundred miles away from your job, it is not appropriate to make it public."
The writing style of this book is delicate and realistic, and the writing style is smooth, making it easy for people to get involved in the story. The author's description of the characters is very good, just like the sentence "Dexter's skis began to fly around the golf course", which immediately shows the vitality of young people. The stories in the book are also very deep and can make people feel the confusion and helplessness of that era. All in all, it's a book worth reading.
It sounds good to me//I love listening to it and watching it too
