The Great Gatsby

While The Great Gatsby draws the social portrait of the USA in the 1920s, he criticizes the idea of the "American dream".

Young and handsome rich Jay Gatsby throws crazy parties and lives a flamboyant life in his villa in the rich neighborhood of Long Island. Gatsby, whose source of wealth is the subject of gossip among his neighbors, does not refrain from spending money for his expensive pleasures and literally swims in debauchery. However, behind this glittering life, a lonely and disappointed man is hidden: Gatsby's only wish in life is to bring back the past and reunite with his girlfriend Daisy Buchanan, with whom he was together before the war. However, Daisy got married during the war and now lives on the opposite side of Long Island with her daughter and husband...

The Great Gatsby, which deals with the transformation in the rapidly enriching US society after the First World War, is like a social diary of the collapse of wealth, excess, ostentation and the values that come with it. The novel, which is considered Fitzgerald's masterpiece and has been adapted to theater and cinema many times, is considered among the brightest examples of 20th century American literature.

"The richest novel I have ever read... the miracle of talent... the triumph of technique..."
-Richard Yates-

"Fitzgerald has truly created a generation in a literary sense..."
-The New York Times-
