The GREAT GATSBY by F. Scott Fitzgerald

The GREAT GATSBY by F. Scott Fitzgerald
ONCE AGAIN TO ZELDA The Great Gatsby is a 1925 novel by American writer F. Scott Fitzgerald. Set in the Jazz Age on Long Island, the novel depicts narrator Nick Carraway''s interactions with mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby and Gatsby''s obsession to reunite with his former lover, Daisy Buchanan. A youthful romance Fitzgerald had with socialite Ginevra King and the riotous parties he attended on Long Island''s North Shore in 1922 inspired the novel. Following a move to the French Riviera, he completed a rough draft in 1924. He submitted the draft to editor Maxwell Perkins, who persuaded Fitzgerald to revise the work over the following winter. After his revisions, Fitzgerald was satisfied with the text, but remained ambivalent about the book''s title and considered several alternatives. The final title he desired was Under the Red, White, and Blue. Painter Francis Cugat''s final cover design impressed Fitzgerald who incorporated a visual element from the art into the novel. After its publication by Scribner''s in April 1925, The Great Gatsby received generally favorable reviews, although some literary critics believed it did not equal Fitzgerald''s previous efforts and signaled the end of the author''s literary achievements. Gatsby was a commercial failure that sold fewer than 20,000 copies by October, and Fitzgerald''s hopes of a monetary windfall from the novel were unrealized. When the author died in 1940, he believed himself to be a failure and his work forgotten. After his death, the novel faced a critical and scholarly re-examination amid World War II, and it soon became a core part of most American high school curricula and a focus of American popular culture. Numerous stage and film adaptations followed in the subsequent decades. Gatsby continues to attract popular and scholarly attention. The novel was most recently adapted to film in 2013 by director Baz Luhrmann, while contemporary scholars emphasize the novel''s treatment of social class, inherited wealth compared to those who are self-made, race, environmentalism, and its cynical attitude towards the American dream. As with other works by Fitzgerald, criticisms include allegations of antisemitism. The Great Gatsby is widely considered to be a literary masterwork and a contender for the title of the Great American Novel.

The Great Gatsby

The Great Gatsby
For generations of enthralled readers, the mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby has come to embody all the glamour and decadence of the Roaring Twenties. To F. Scott Fitzgerald’s bemused narrator, Nick Carraway, Gatsby appears to have emerged out of nowhere, evading questions about his murky past and throwing dazzling parties at his luxurious mansion. Nick finds something both appalling and appealing in the intensity of his new neighbor’s ambition, and his fascination grows when he discovers that Gatsby is obsessed by a long-lost love, Daisy Buchanan. But Daisy and her wealthy husband are cynical and careless people, and as Gatsby’s dream collides with reality, Nick is witness to the violence and tragedy that result. The Great Gatsby''s remarkable staying power is owed to the lyrical freshness of its storytelling and to the way it illuminates the hollow core of the glittering American dream. With a new introduction by John Grisham.

S. Eliot«Él tenía una de las cualidades más raras en la literatura: encanto, encanto como Keats lo había tenido ¿y quién lo posee hoy día?» - Raymond Chandler «Fitzgerald representa el estilo, la profundidad y la lucidez… Hay frases en sus libros que quedarán grabadas para siempre en tu memoria… Bienvenido sea cualquier pretexto cinematográfico si sirve para que los lectores jóvenes descubran a Fitzgerald. Los viejos nunca hemos dejado de releerlo. La adicción que crea es para siempre.» Carlos Boyero, Babelia «Fitzgerald era el mejor de todos nosotros.» -Ernest Hemingway «Fitzgerald es mi autor favorito.» -Haruki Murakami «Le leerán cuando muchos de sus contemporáneos estén olvidados.» -Gertrude Stein ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read The Great Gatsby, F.

The Great Gatsby: F. Scott Fitzgerald
A portrait of the Jazz Age in all of its decadence and excess, The Great Gatsby captured the spirit of the author''s generation and earned itself a permanent place in American mythology. Self-made, self-invented millionaire Jay Gatsby embodies some of Fitzgerald''s--and his country''s--most abiding obsessions: money, ambition, greed, and the promise of new beginnings. "Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgiastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that''s no matter--tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther.... And one fine morning--"Gatsby''s rise to glory and eventual fall from grace becomes a kind of cautionary tale about the American Dream.It''s also a love story, of sorts, the narrative of Gatsby''s quixotic passion for Daisy Buchanan. The pair meet five years before the novel begins, when Daisy is a legendary young Louisville beauty and Gatsby an impoverished officer. They fall in love, but while Gatsby serves overseas, Daisy marries the brutal, bullying, but extremely rich Tom Buchanan. After the war, Gatsby devotes himself blindly to the pursuit of wealth by whatever means--and to the pursuit of Daisy, which amounts to the same thing. "Her voice is full of money," Gatsby says admiringly. His millions made, Gatsby buys a mansion across Long Island Sound from Daisy''s patrician East Egg address, throws lavish parties, and waits for her to appear. When she does, events unfold with detached, cynical neighbor Nick Carraway acting as chorus throughout.

The Great Gatsby (The Authorized Edition)
The Great Gatsby is a 1925 novel by American writer F. Scott Fitzgerald. Set in the Jazz Age on Long Island, near New York City, the novel depicts first-person narrator Nick Carraway''s interactions with mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby and Gatsby''s obsession to reunite with his former lover, Daisy Buchanan. The novel was inspired by a youthful romance Fitzgerald had with socialite Ginevra King, and the riotous parties he attended on Long Island''s North Shore in 1922. Following a move to the French Riviera, Fitzgerald completed a rough draft of the novel in 1924. He submitted it to editor Maxwell Perkins, who persuaded Fitzgerald to revise the work over the following winter.

Compared to his earlier novels, Gatsby was a commercial disappointment, selling fewer than 20,000 copies by October, and Fitzgerald''s hopes of a monetary windfall from the novel were unrealized. When the author died in 1940, he believed himself to be a failure and his work forgotten. During World War II, the novel experienced an abrupt surge in popularity when the Council on Books in Wartime distributed free copies to American soldiers serving overseas. This new-found popularity launched a critical and scholarly re-examination, and the work soon became a core part of most American high school curricula and a part of American popular culture. Numerous stage and film adaptations followed in the subsequent decades. Gatsby continues to attract popular and scholarly attention. Contemporary scholars emphasize the novel''s treatment of social class, inherited versus self-made wealth, race, and environmentalism, and its cynical attitude towards the American dream. One persistent item of negative criticism is an allegation of antisemitic stereotyping. The Great Gatsby is widely considered to be a literary masterwork and a contender for the title of the Great American Novel.
