Sammendrag av boken

Jay Gatsby, en rik og gåtefull mann, arrangerer overdådige fester i håp om å gjenfinne Daisy, kvinnen han elsket i fortiden. Nick, naboen hans, observerer denne verden av luksus, illusjoner og ambisjoner. Bak den blendende fasaden veves begjær og løgner sammen og avslører en mørkere virkelighet. Gatsby jager en uoppnåelig drøm og er villig til å gjøre alt for å gjenoppleve den. Romanen utforsker illusjonen om suksess og skjørheten i menneskelige ambisjoner. Forfatteren tegner et kritisk portrett av et samfunn fascinert av rikdom og ytre glans.

I

I

En mis años más jóvenes y vulnerables, mi padre me dio un consejo que no he dejado de rumiar desde entonces.

In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I’ve been turning over in my mind ever since.

—Cuando sientas ganas de criticar a alguien —

“Whenever you feel like criticizing anyone,”

me dijo —,

he told me,

recuerda que no todo el mundo ha tenido las ventajas que tú has tenido.

“just remember that all the people in this world haven’t had the advantages that you’ve had.”

No dijo más,

He didn’t say any more,

pero siempre nos hemos entendido de un modo insólito dentro de nuestra reserva,

but we’ve always been unusually communicative in a reserved way,

y comprendí que quería decir mucho más que eso.

and I understood that he meant a great deal more than that.

En consecuencia,

In consequence,

tiendo a reservarme todos los juicios,

I’m inclined to reserve all judgements,

costumbre que me ha abierto muchas naturalezas curiosas y me ha hecho también víctima de no pocos pesados veteranos.

a habit that has opened up many curious natures to me and also made me the victim of not a few veteran bores.

La mente anormal detecta al instante esta cualidad cuando aparece en una persona normal, y se agarra a ella;

The abnormal mind is quick to detect and attach itself to this quality when it appears in a normal person,

así ocurrió que en la universidad me acusaron injustamente de político,

and so it came about that in college I was unjustly accused of being a politician,

porque estaba al tanto de las penas secretas de hombres desenfrenados y

because I was privy to the secret griefs of wild,

desconocidos.

unknown men.

La mayoría de esas confidencias no las busqué: muchas veces he fingido sueño,

Most of the confidences were unsought—frequently I have feigned sleep,

preocupación

preoccupation,

o una ligereza hostil cuando advertía, por alguna señal inequívoca, que una revelación íntima temblaba en el horizonte;

or a hostile levity when I realized by some unmistakable sign that an intimate revelation was quivering on the horizon;

pues las revelaciones íntimas de los jóvenes,

for the intimate revelations of young men,

o al menos los términos en que las expresan,

or at least the terms in which they express them,

suelen ser plagios y adolecen de omisiones evidentes.

are usually plagiaristic and marred by obvious suppressions.

Reservarse los juicios es cuestión de una esperanza infinita.

Reserving judgements is a matter of infinite hope.

Todavía temo un poco perderme algo si olvido que,

I am still a little afraid of missing something if I forget that,

como sugería mi padre con cierto esnobismo,

as my father snobbishly suggested,

y yo repito con el mismo esnobismo,

and I snobbishly repeat,

el sentido de las decencias fundamentales se reparte de manera desigual al nacer.

a sense of the fundamental decencies is parcelled out unequally at birth.

Fordelene med den tospråklige metoden med visningen Linje for linje synkronisert

Hver linje i originalen har oversettelsen rett under seg, på samme høyde. Du leter aldri etter hvor du er: blikket flytter seg ett hakk ned og finner nøyaktig den setningen du nettopp leste. Dette er oppsettet som gjør det mulig å gå i gang med en bok på et språk du knapt kan, uten å falle av, og å sammenligne de to tekstene nesten ord for ord.
