Two of the most famous tales, the beautifully elegiac The Rich Boy and Winter Dreams, deal with wealthy protagonists - the old-money Anson Hunter and the self-made man Dexter Green - as they come to terms with lost love, while Absolution, in which a boy confesses to a priest, was initially written as a background piece to The Great Gatsby.

Contains: The Rich Boy, Winter Dreams, Absolution, The Baby Party, Rags Martin-Jones and the Prince of Wales, The Adjuster, Hot and Cold Blood, The Sensible Thing, Gretchen's Forty Winks.

作者简介/Author

弗朗西斯·斯科特·基·菲茨杰拉德（Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald，1896年9月24日－1940年12月21日），20世纪美国作家、编剧。

菲茨杰拉德1896年9月24日生于明尼苏达州圣保罗市。父亲是家具商。他年轻时试写过剧本。读完高中后考入普林斯顿大学。在校时曾自组剧团，并为校内文学刊物写稿。后因身体欠佳，中途辍学。1917年入伍，终日忙于军训，未曾出国打仗。退伍后坚持业余写作。1920年出版了长篇小说《人间天堂》，从此出了名，小说出版后他与吉姗尔达结婚。婚后携妻寄居巴黎，结识了安德逊、海明威等多位美国作家。1925年《了不起的盖茨比》问世，奠定了他在现代美国文学史上的地位，成了20年代“爵士时代”的发言人和“迷惘的一代”的代表作家之一。菲兹杰拉德成名后继续勤奋笔耕，但婚后妻子讲究排场，后来又精神失常，挥霍无度，给他带来极大痛苦。他经济上入不敷出，一度去好莱坞写剧本挣钱维持生计。1936年不幸染上肺病，妻子又一病不起，使他几乎无法创作，精神濒于崩溃，终日酗酒。1940年12月21日并发心脏病，死于洛杉矶，年仅44岁。

菲兹杰拉德不仅写长篇小说，短篇小说也颇有特色。除上述两部作品外，主要作品还有《夜色温柔》（1934）和《末代大亨的情缘》（1941）。他的小说生动地反映了20年代“美国梦”的破灭，展示了大萧条时期美国上层社会“荒原时代”的精神面。

Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald (September 24, 1896 – December 21, 1940) was an American novelist, essayist, screenwriter, and short story writer. He was best known for his novels depicting the flamboyance and excess of the Jazz Age—a term which he popularized. During his lifetime, he published four novels, four collections of short stories, and 164 short stories. Although he temporarily achieved popular success and fortune in the 1920s, Fitzgerald only received wide critical and popular acclaim after his death. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest American writers of the 20th century.

In the 1920s, Fitzgerald frequented Europe, where he was influenced by the modernist writers and artists of the "Lost Generation" expatriate community, particularly Ernest Hemingway. His second novel, The Beautiful and Damned (1922), propelled him into the New York City elite. To maintain his lifestyle during this time, he also wrote several stories for magazines. His third novel, The Great Gatsby (1925), was inspired by his rise to fame and relationship with Zelda. Although it received mixed reviews, The Great Gatsby is now widely praised, with some even labeling it the "Great American Novel". While Zelda was placed at a mental institute for her schizophrenia, Fitzgerald completed his final novel, Tender Is the Night (1934).
