The Great Gatsby
Description du livre
The most famous novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald—at the time of its release, it was considered the most complete portrayal of the "lost generation," whose coming of age coincided with the years of the First World War.
"The Great Gatsby" takes us to New York in the 1920s, where jazz can be heard everywhere, underground alcohol trade flourishes, and the mafia rules the city. It is a time of great crisis and equally great profits. A time when it was easiest to become somebody in a short period after previously being nobody. Such a person was Jay Gatsby, dreaming of great wealth and power. To fulfill these dreams, he gets involved in the gears of the criminal underworld and high finance...
F. Scott Fitzgerald's captivating style makes "The Great Gatsby" an unsettlingly relevant novel.
