THE GREAT GATSBY – FRANCIS S. FITZGERALD

In his famous novel “The Great Gatsby”, Francis Scott Fitzgerald masterfully transports us to Long Island in the golden twenties of the last century: in times of unprecedented economic growth, the first skyscrapers and jazz, lawlessness and lawlessness, flooded with the glittering lights of Broadway and fashionistas who challenged entrenched conventions, in times of high hopes and bright falls. With shrillness and delicate sophistication, Fitzgerald tells the story of the young millionaire Jay Gatsby, who arranges magnificent legendary parties in his mansion and gathers the New York high society around him. But the mysterious host himself is not at all interested in those parties. Behind the dazzling facade hides a bitter longing for unattainable, long-lost love. A longing that grows into an obsession. “The Great Gatsby” is a story about the power of great feelings and the painful collapse of a romantic dream.
