The Great Gatsby

Francis Scott Fitzgerald is among the greatest prose writers of the 20th century in the USA. He was not just a writer, but a living legend and an idol of American youth. Ernest Hemingway wrote: "His talent was as natural as the pattern of pollen on a butterfly's wings." "The Great Gatsby" is Fitzgerald's best book and one of the most popular American novels of all time. In this immortal story of love, jealousy, wealth, and ruin, the author achieved an astonishing harmony in depicting the allure of dreams and their inevitable collapse.
