Tender is the Night is a story set in the hedonistic high society of Europe during the ‘Roaring Twenties’. A wealthy schizophrenic, Nicole Warren, falls in love with Dick Diver - her psychiatrist. The resulting saga of the Divers’ troubled marriage, and their circle of friends, includes a cast of aristocratic and beautiful people, unhappy love affairs, a duel, incest, and the problems inherent in the possession of great wealth. Despite cataloguing a maelstrom of interpersonal conflict, Tender is the Night has a poignancy and warmth that springs from the quality of Fitzgerald's writing and the tragic personal experiences on which the novel is based. Six years separate Tender is the Night and The Last Tycoon, the novel Fitzgerald left unfinished at his death in December 1940.? Fitzgerald lived in Hollywood more or less continuously from July 1937 until his death, and a novel about the film industry at the height of?'the studio system'?centred on the working life of a top producer was begun in 1939.??Even in its incomplete?state The Last Tycoon remains the greatest American novel about Hollywood and contains some of Fitzgerald's most brilliant writing.

作者简介

Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald (September 24, 1896 – December 21, 1940) was an American author of novels and short stories, whose works are the paradigm writings of the Jazz Age, a term he coined himself. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest American writers of the 20th century.[1] Fitzgerald is considered a member of the "Lost Generation" of the 1920s. He finished four novels: This Side of Paradise, The Beautiful and Damned, Tender is the Night and his most famous, The Great Gatsby. A fifth, unfinished novel, The Love of the Last Tycoon, was published posthumously. Fitzgerald also wrote many short stories that treat themes of youth and promise along with despair and age.

  弗·司各特·菲茨杰拉德 (Francis Scott Fitzgerald 1896-1940)美国小说家。他塑造的人物形象大多是一群战后追求梦幻的青年男女,但他们在生活经历和精神世界方面都与作者有着密切的内在联系。从这些内在联系中,我们可以看到菲茨杰拉德从追求理想的“美国梦”到梦幻破灭的过程,或者说菲茨杰拉德的“天路历程”。菲茨杰拉德的魅力来自于他清晰的叙述,优雅的文风,多姿多彩、点铁成金的遣词造句,这种风格在他的短篇小说中得到了最好的体现。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小商人家庭。原名弗朗西斯·斯科特·基·菲兹杰拉德。自小家境不佳,靠亲友资助进入贵族学校,“因自惭形秽而痛苦万状” 。1913年靠资助进入 普林斯顿大学,在此期间完成《人间天堂》初稿,但大学未毕业就退学。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《人间天堂》,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《爵土时代的故事》(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。
