Beschreibung

One of the greatest American novels of the twentieth century, F. Scott Fitzgerald's masterful The Great Gatsby is an intricate portrait of the extravagant Jazz Age.

Jay Gatsby is the mysterious focal point of Long Island, New York. The millionaire's mansion is the decadent setting for constant lavish parties. Extravagant crowds flock to the fictional town of West Egg to join these parties and socialise with the handsome Gatsby. A naive dreamer, the hedonistic young man is harbouring a deep secret that could bring tragedy to all those around him. Narrated by Gatsby's neighbour, Nick Carraway, this American classic presents the wealthy, enigmatic youth of America's Jazz Age.

First published in 1925, F. Scott Fitzgerald's sensational novel effortlessly encapsulates the luxury of the Roaring 20s. He presents themes of disillusionment, self-destruction, and excessive drinking and spending, while warning of the dangers of chasing the American Dream.

The perfect bookshelf addition for collectors of Jazz Age literature, this volume features a specially-commissioned biography of F. Scott Fitzgerald alongside an introductory essay on the Lost Generation writers.

Über den Autor

Born on September 24, 1896, in Saint Paul, Minnesota, Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald was named after his distant relative, the lyricist of "The Star-Spangled Banner." He attended Princeton University but left in 1917 to join the U.S. Army during World War I. While stationed in Alabama, he met Zelda Sayre, whom he married in 1920 following the success of his debut novel, This Side of Paradise.Fitzgerald's literary career flourished in the 1920s, a period he famously dubbed the "Jazz Age." His works, including The Beautiful and Damned and The Great Gatsby, explored themes of wealth, ambition, and the American Dream. Despite his early success, he faced personal challenges, including struggles with alcoholism and Zelda's mental health [...] the 1930s, Fitzgerald moved to Hollywood to work as a screenwriter, seeking financial stability. During this time, he began an unfinished novel, The Last Tycoon, which was published posthumously. Fitzgerald died of a heart attack on December 21, 1940, at the age of 44, leaving behind a legacy as one of America's most celebrated writers.
