关于此有声读物

O Russet Witch! is a poignant short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald, first published in Metropolitan Magazine in February 1921 and later included in his collection Tales of the Jazz Age (1922). Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century America, the narrative follows Merlin Grainger, a reserved and introspective man working at the Moonlight Quill Bookshop. His quiet existence is disrupted by the arrival of his new neighbor, Caroline, a vibrant and enchanting woman with russet red hair.

Caroline embodies a carefree and alluring presence that contrasts sharply with Merlin’s mundane life. He becomes infatuated with her, captivated by her beauty and charm. However, societal constraints and his own insecurities prevent him from pursuing a relationship. The story explores themes of unfulfilled desire, the passage of time, and the impact of societal expectations on personal happiness. Fitzgerald’s evocative prose and keen psychological insight create a haunting and melancholic atmosphere, reflecting the bittersweet nature of longing and regret. The narrative leaves readers with a lingering sense of what might have been, showcasing Fitzgerald’s mastery of capturing the complexities of human emotion.
