Tender is the Night-夜色温柔

作者：Fitzgerald F Scott

书名：Tender is the Night《夜色温柔》

中文简介：这部《夜色温柔》是菲茨杰拉德的第四本作品，是1934年在杂志上连载的，总共连载了4期(issue)，也就是4个月。这本书描写了强烈的怀旧情绪、悔恨心理、失落的希望、破灭的幻想、人格的分裂。而这与菲茨杰拉德的创作背景非常吻合。当时，菲茨杰拉德的妻子因为精神分裂而住进了巴尔迪莫的医院，那段时间正是菲茨杰拉德一生中最黑暗的时期，书中的阴郁感来自于作者本人当时的体验。这也正是为什么这部小说主要描写了一位年轻的心理医生(psychiatrist)，书中的故事便是他的起起伏伏，而他的妻子也同时是他的一名病人。

英文简介：Set on the French Riviera in the late 1920s, 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. A profound study of the romantic concept of character, Tender Is the Night is lyrical, expansive, and hauntingly evocative.
