The Great Gatsby

The twenties have just begun, and you are already tired of them? Return to the Roaring Twenties with The Great Gatsby! F. Scott Fitzgerald will open before you a time when the future could only be beautiful. Jazz, parties, and... money flowing like a river – this is the everyday life of the book's heroes. The Great Gatsby is partly the story of F. S. Fitzgerald himself. He was in love with the beautiful Zelda, but he didn't have the money to support a marriage. Fitzgerald became a popular writer and won the hand of his beloved. The story of Jay Gatsby is a dark twin of this. Gatsby is a nouveau riche who made a fortune through shady dealings and surrounded himself with an aura of mystery. No one knows the source of his wealth, but everyone enjoys gossiping about him at his parties. Only the narrator, Nick Carraway, is able to see behind this facade, as he unexpectedly recognizes him as a colleague. Soon he understands that for Gatsby, wealth is just a tool, and the only thing he really needs is to win the love of one beautiful woman. The book is published in an unadapted version. Enjoy the poetic English of F. S. Fitzgerald in its original form!
