Fitzgerald, American novelist. I believe that most Chinese readers' understanding of him originated from his masterpiece, The Great Gatsby.
The novel "The Great Gatsby" depicts the disillusionment of the "American Dream" pursued by the nouveau riche Gatsby in the 1920s through a perfect artistic form, revealing the tragedy of American society. The love and breakup between Gatsby and Daisy was originally a very ordinary love story. But the author's approach is extraordinary, treating Gatsby's infatuated girl as a symbol of youth, money, and status, and as the "American Dream" of pursuing a wealthy material life through means.
Fitzgerald not only wrote novels, but also had distinctive short stories. In addition to 'The Great Gatsby', this book also includes' A Diamond as Big as the Ritz Hotel ',' Revisiting Babylon ',' Wealthy Children ', and' Winter Dreams'. One of his most unique novels is "A Diamond as Big as the Ritz Hotel", which fully showcases his imaginative qualities, as if written by Italian novelists who love to play with surrealist ideas (such as Pirandello or Calvino); Revisiting Babylon "is Fitzgerald's representative lyrical work, which not only bears the author's own painful imprint, but also expresses his repentance and determination, allowing people to savor it carefully and deeply; 'The Wealthy Children' can be regarded as a masterpiece of realism; The symbolism and imagery in 'Winter Dreams' leave a profound impression. I believe these series of works can provide readers with a profound reading experience.
