Tender Is the Night《夜色温柔》发表于1934年，是菲茨杰拉德生前完成的zui后一部长篇小说，描写的是一个出身寒微但才华出众的青年对富有梦幻色彩的理想的追求以及后来如何遭到失败、变得颓废消沉的故事。这是一部带有很强的自传性的小说，探索了一种酷似作者所经历的感情与精神的崩溃过程。《夜色温柔》无论从何种意义上说，都堪称菲茨杰拉德非常优秀的作品之一，标志着他在《了不起的盖茨比》的基础上又向前跨出了坚实的一大步。

“Sometimes it is harder to deprive oneself of a pain than of a pleasure.”

Set on the French Riviera in the 1920s, American Dick Diver and his wife Nicole are the epitome of chic, living a glamorous lifestyle and entertaining friends at their villa. Young film star Rosemary Hoyt arrives in France and becomes entranced by the couple. It is not long before she is attracted to the enigmatic Dick, but he and his wife hold dark secrets and as their marriage becomes more fractured, Fitzgerald laments the failure of idealism and the carefully constructed trappings of high society in the Roaring Twenties.
Tender Is the Night《夜色温柔》的故事发生在第一次世界大战后的法国和瑞士，但展现的仍是美国“爵士乐时代”的社会生活：来自美国中西部的迪克·戴弗才华出众，是一名前途无量的年轻心理学家。他爱上了前来就医的美国富翁之女——因与父亲乱伦而患上精神病的妮科尔·沃伦，并和她结婚了。婚后，妻子精神状况的反复无常耗尽了他的精力，奢侈的生活方式蚕食了他固有的道德观念。在这双重压力下，迪克开始酗酒，并与一个女影星产生了爱情纠葛，而妮科尔则选择和阔少爷寻欢作乐……

The novel almost mirrors the events of Fitzgerald and Zelda’s lives.Tender Is the Night is the tragic romance of the young actress Rosemary Hoyt and the stylish American couple Dick and Nicole Diver. A brilliant young psychiatrist at the time of his marriage, Dick is both husband and doctor to Nicole, whose wealth goads him into a lifestyle not his own, and whose growing strength highlights Dick’s harrowing demise.

弗朗西斯·司各特·菲茨杰拉德，二十世纪美国杰出作家。1920年出版了长篇小说《人间天堂》，名声大噪。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。菲兹杰拉德不仅写长篇小说，短篇小说也频有特色。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。
