Jay Gatsby is the man who has everything. But one thing will always be out of his reach ... Everybody who is anybody is seen at his glittering parties. Day and night his Long Island mansion buzzes with bright young things drinking, dancing and debating his mysterious character. For Gatsby - young, handsome, fabulously rich - always seems alone in the crowd, watching and waiting, though no one knows what for. Beneath the shimmering surface of his life he is hiding a secret: a silent longing that can never be fulfilled. And soon this destructive obsession will force his world to unravel.

《了不起的蓋茨比》(名著名譯插圖本)弗·司各特·菲茨杰拉德（1896-1940），美國(guó)二十世紀(jì)最杰出的作家之一?！读瞬黄鸬纳w茨比》是他最著名的代表作。二十世紀(jì)二十年代的美國(guó)，空氣里彌漫著歡歌與縱飲的氣息。一個(gè)偶然的機(jī)會(huì)，窮職員尼克闖入了揮金如土的大富翁蓋茨比隱秘的世界，驚訝地發(fā)現(xiàn)，他內(nèi)心惟一的牽絆竟是對(duì)河岸那盞小小的綠燈——燈影婆娑中，住著心愛(ài)的黛西。然而，冰冷的現(xiàn)實(shí)容不下縹緲的夢(mèng)，到頭來(lái)，蓋茨比心中的女神只不過(guò)是凡塵俗世的物質(zhì)女郎。當(dāng)一切真相大白，蓋茨比的悲劇人生亦如煙花般，璀璨只是一瞬，幻滅才是永恒。一闋華麗的“爵士時(shí)代”的挽歌，在菲茨杰拉德筆下，如詩(shī)如夢(mèng)，在美國(guó)當(dāng)代文學(xué)史上留下了墨色濃重的印痕。
