Description
A masterpiece from the time of the greatest binge in American history, which Francis Scott Fitzgerald referred to as the "Jazz Age" and to which he himself contributed significantly with many private improvisations and feelings of the "lost generation," presents a love story from high society. The self-made man Jay Gatz, known as the Great Gatsby, and the beauty Daisy Buchanan each penetrate these spheres in the era of Prohibition in their own way, grappling with a new lifestyle and the burden of American "innocence." The discord in their visions is the leitmotif of the novel, which reexamines the romantic ideal of the elusive "green light" – that "crazy, exciting future that recedes before us year after year" – and ultimately sacrifices it mercilessly at the altar of the myth of eternal love. Fitzgerald's impressive portrayal of the interwar version of the American Dream is presented in a new, modern translation.
