The Great Gatsby

The twenties have only just begun, and you are already tired of them? Return to the Roaring Twenties with The Great Gatsby! Francis Scott Fitzgerald will unveil 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 characters. The Great Gatsby is partly the story of F. Scott Fitzgerald himself. He was in love with the beautiful Zelda, but he didn't have the money to sustain 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 his fortune in shady dealings and surrounded himself with a veil of mystery. No one knows the source of his wealth, but everyone enjoys gossiping about him at his parties. Only the narrator, Nick Carraway, manages to peek beneath this facade, as he unexpectedly recognizes him as a colleague. Soon he realizes that for Gatsby, wealth is just a tool, and the only thing he truly needs is to win the love of one beautiful woman. The book is published in an unabridged version. Enjoy the poetic nature of F. S. Fitzgerald's English in its original form!
