Description

In his famous novel “The Great Gatsby,” F. Scott Fitzgerald masterfully transports us to the Long Island of the golden 1920s: a time of unprecedented economic growth, the first skyscrapers and jets, Prohibition and excesses, a glitter-lit Broadway and fashionistas challenging ossified conventions, a time of great hopes and spectacular downfalls.

Poignantly and with subtle elegance, Fitzgerald tells the story of young millionaire Jay Gatsby, who throws lavish, legendary parties at his mansion, gathering around him the cream of New York society. However, the mysterious host himself is not the least bit interested in these parties. Behind the dazzling facade lies a bitter longing for an unreachable, long-lost love. A longing that turns into an obsession.

“The Great Gatsby” is a story about the power of great feelings and the painful crash of a romantic dream.
