名人故事:美国杰出作家菲茨杰拉德简介

名人故事:美国杰出作家菲茨杰拉德简介弗·司各特·菲茨杰拉德(Francis Scott Fitzgerald 1896-1940) 美国二十世纪最杰出的作家之一。
属于迷惘的一代,是“浮躁的20年代”(the roaring 20s)的代言人生于明尼苏达州圣保罗市一个商人家庭。
原名弗朗西斯·斯科特·基·菲兹杰拉德。
普林菲茨杰拉德斯顿大学未毕业就退学。
1917年入伍,次年升为中尉军官,1919年退伍,在一家商业公司当抄写员,业余致力于创作。
他的创作倾向与“迷惘的一代”相似,表现第一次世界大战后年轻的一代对美国所抱的理想的幻灭。
1920年发表第一部长篇小说《此岸天堂》,一举成名,声名远播。
小说出版后他与珊尔达·赛瑞结婚。
珊尔达对他的生活与创作影响很大,他的小说里许多女主人公都有她的面影。
以后又出版了两部短篇小说集《姑娘们与哲学家们》(1921)和《爵士时代的故事》(1922)。
1925年,他的代表作《了不起的盖茨比》出版,确立了他在文学史上的地位。
《了不起的盖茨比》表现了“美国梦”的幻灭。
这部小说谴责以汤姆为代表的美国特权阶级自私专横,为所欲为,以同情的态度描写了盖茨比的悲剧,并指出他的悲剧来自他对生活和爱情的幻想,对上层社会人物缺乏认识。
1934年菲茨杰拉德出版了另一部重要的长篇小说《夜色温柔》,成功地表现了上层资产者的自私与腐化,对主人公的沉沦满怀同情。
但评论界对它反应冷淡。
1936年菲茨杰拉尔德在病中写了自传散文《崩溃》。
后来以好莱坞一个电影导演为主人公创作长篇小说《最后的大亨》,他去世后,遗稿由其朋友、批评家埃德蒙·威尔逊整理出版(1945)。
他也是美国著名编剧。
1922年他的小说《美女和被诅咒的人》被拍成电影;1925年出版了《了不起的盖茨比》,奠定了他在美国文学史上的地位,1949、1974年两次被派拉蒙公司拍摄成电影。
F. Scott Fitzgerald弗朗西斯·斯科特·菲茨杰拉德

It's also a love story, of sorts, the narrative of Gatsby's quixotic passio n for Daisy Buchanan. The pair meet five years before the novel begin s, when Daisy is a legendary young Louisville beauty and Gatsby an i mpoverished officer. They fall in love, but while Gatsby serves overse as, Daisy marries the brutal, bullying, but extremely rich Tom Buchan an. After the war, Gatsby devotes himself blindly to the pursuit of wea lth by whatever means--and to the pursuit of Daisy, which amounts to the same thing. "Her voice is full of money," Gatsby says admiringly, i n one of the novel's more famous descriptions. His millions made, Gat sby buys a mansion across Long Island Sound from Daisy's patrician East Egg address, throws lavish parties, and waits for her to appear. W hen she does, events unfold with all the tragic inevitability of a Greek drama, with detached, cynical neighbor Nick Carraway acting as chor us throughout. Spare, elegantly plotted, and written in crystalline prose, The Great Gatsby is as perfectly satisfying as the best kind of poem.

Scott spent the first decade of his childhood primarily in Buffalo, New York (1898–1901 and 1903– 1908, with a short interlude in Syracuse, New York between January 1901 and Sept both practicing Catholics, sent Scott to two Catholic schools on the West Side of Buffalo, first Holy Angels Convent (1903–1904, now disused) and then Nardin Academy (1905–1908). His formative years in Buffalo revealed him to be a boy of unusual intelligence and drive with a keen early interest in literature, his doting mother ensuring that her son had all the advantages of an upper-middle-class upbringing.[7] In a rather unconventional style of parenting, Scott attended Holy Angels with the peculiar arrangement that he go for only half a day—and was allowed to choose which half.[6]

A fifth, unfinished novel, The Last Tycoon, was published posthumously. Fitzgerald also authored 4 collections of short stories, as well as 164 short stories in magazines during his lifetime.

作者生平
1917年春,美国宣布参加一战,菲茨杰拉德也顺着人潮参军了,但他还未 及被派上战场,一战就结束了。1918年7月,菲茨杰拉德在阿拉巴马州蒙哥 马利市的乡村舞会上邂逅了泽尔达。十八岁的她是舞会上最耀眼的明星,同 样出身不凡。作为阿拉巴马最高法院法官的小女儿,精通芭蕾、法语、诗歌, 连同家人的宠溺滋生了她格外的骄傲与叛逆。她早早学会抽烟喝酒,通宵达 旦地跳舞,与众多男人周旋调情。不过在菲茨杰拉德看来,“我喜欢她的勇 敢、诚实与火一般的自尊。 ”菲茨杰拉德展开疾风骤雨般的追求,泽尔达终 于答应了他的求婚,不过开出条件:如果他能挣到钱让自己过上习惯的优裕 生活,两人就结婚。 1918年末,菲茨杰拉德从军队退役就直奔纽约,但他仅 找到一份在名不见经传的广告公司写广告词的工作。 1919年6月,泽尔达失 去耐心提出终止婚约。早年的种种经历,造成了菲茨杰拉德一生都对金钱二 字格外敏感。《了不起的盖茨比》中的女主角黛西,正是两次恋爱女主人公 的混合体,“她的声音里充满了金钱”。 1919年,一无所有的菲茨杰拉德回到故乡。1920年2月小说《人间天堂》 出版,因传达出鲜活的时代感而一炮而红,短短几天第一版竟已售罄。各家 杂志开始争相向他约稿。菲茨杰拉德马上发电报给泽尔达:“书卖得好,速 来纽约”。当年4月3日,他便与泽尔达结婚。 爵士时代是他最为春风得意的十年。他的年收入平均有25000美元,当时 教师的平均年收入是1299美元。夫妇俩纵情享乐,挥金如土。这对金童玉女 组合还以出格的行为频频登上各类小报。比如当众跳进广场的喷泉,又浑身 湿淋淋站在桌上跳舞;因过于喧闹被房东撵走……但夫妇俩的知名度反而大 大提高。“他在美国和法国的私生活几乎与他的小说一样为人乐道。”读者 越来越期待从他的作品中一窥那令人目眩神迷的上流社会
