★菲兹杰拉德的9部短篇小说全收录，多次入选教科书和各类文选；

★美国“荒原时代”，“迷惘的一代”的代表作； ★二十世纪20年代，美国中产新兴阶级的精神状态，记述了即将破灭的“美国梦”； ★Winter Dreams《冬日梦》是《了不起的盖茨比》的创作来源； ★二十世纪美国杰出作家，村上春树、海明威、塞林格均受其影响； ★“他用青春换取力量，从绝望中凿出成功。但如同青春不再，生活卷走了他那青涩的爱。” All The Sad Young Men《那些忧伤的年轻人/所有悲伤的年轻人》收录了美国小说家菲兹杰拉德的9部短篇小说，被誉为美国“荒原时代”的真实写照。这些故事主题严肃、内容深刻、结构严谨、文笔舒展，反映了一个天才小说家对社会的敏锐观察和对未来的忧患意识，代表了菲茨杰拉德成熟的创作思想和已经形成的艺术风格。 美国经历了繁华的“爵士时代”，物质生活高速发展，纸醉金迷背后却隐隐透着不安。菲兹杰拉德描述了一群勃发的年轻人，他们奋力追逐世俗名利，直到功成名就之后，却遗失了内心重要的东西。那个曾经人人向往的美国梦，几乎要破碎。菲兹杰拉德对时代的预知，使他成为了美国“迷惘的一代”的代表作家。 媒体评论：“他的才华就像蝴蝶翅膀上缤纷的图案，完全是天生的。”——海明威 “我真想把其中的妙处告诉别人。”——村上春树 “菲兹杰拉德的一生是英雄的一生。”——阿·密兹纳 “菲兹杰拉德的作品把亲密和疏远结合在一起：他似乎同时既站在20世纪20年代之中，又站在20年代之外；但是在写接踵而来的那段时期时，却没有人能同样地把这两种品质结合在一起。”——马尔科姆·考利 “菲兹杰拉德是他那一代人的历史学家，并且长时间作为那个时代突出的代表。”——卡津 “菲兹杰拉德的小说是从他的灵魂深处流出来的，尽管他的作品只是显露出他自己，可是他写得如此地好，以致他显露出来的是人性的百态。”——查尔斯·显恩 Published a year after The Great Gatsby, this short-story collection showcases many of the celebrated novel's themes, as well as its unique writing style. 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. Also containing `The Baby Party', `Rags Martin-Jones and the Pr-nce of W-les', `The Adjuster', `Hot and Cold Blood', `The Sensible Thing' and `Gretchen's Forty Winks' - all of which describe in various ways the 1920s society that Fitzgerald himself inhabited - All the Sad Young Men is a masterpiece of twentieth-century American fiction. Review'He was better than he knew, for in fact and in the literary sense he invented a generation.' --The New York Times

BEGIN WITH AN INDIVIDUAL and before you know it you find that you have created a type; begin with a type, and you find that you have created — nothing. That is because we are all queer fish, queerer behind our faces and voices than we want anyone to know or than we know ourselves. When I hear a man proclaiming himself an “average, honest, open fellow I feel pretty sure that he has some definite and perhaps terrible abnormality which he has agreed to conceal — and his protestation of being average and honest and open is his way of reminding himself of his misprision.

There are no types, no plurals. There is a rich boy, and this is his and not his brothers’ story all my life I have lived among his brothers, but this one has been my friend. Besides, if I wrote about his brothers I should have to begin by attacking all the lies that the poor have told about the rich and the rich have told about themselves — such a wild structure they have erected that when we pick lip a book about the rich, some instinct prepares us for unreality. Even the intelligent and impassioned reporters of life have made the country of the rich as unreal as fairyland. Let me tell you about the very rich. They are different from you and me. They possess and enjoy early, and it does something to them, makes them soft where we are hard and cynical where we are trustful, in a way that, unlessyou were born rich, it is very difficult to understand. They think, deep in their hearts, that they are better than we are, because we had to discover the compensations and refuges of life for ourselves. Even when they enter deep into our world or sink below us, they still think that they are better than we arc. They are different. The only way I can describe young Anson Hunter is to approach him as if he were a foreigner and cling stubbornly to my point of view. If I accept his for a moment I am lost — I have nothing to showbut a preposterous movie.
