Sinossi
«Il grande Gatsby» (1925) è il terzo romanzo di Francis Scott Fitzgerald e a giudizio di molti la sua opera più compiuta (T.S. Eliot lo definì «il primo passo avanti per la narrativa americana dai tempi di Henry James»). Nella storia di Jay Gatsby, oscuro avventuriero alla ricerca di un personale posto al sole nel sogno americano, e del suo amore impossibile per Daisy Buchanan, Fitzgerald sembra riversare tutte le inquietudini celate dietro lo sfarzo degli anni Venti, rinunciando alla spensieratezza dei libri giovanili in favore di toni più crepuscolari e raggiungendo un equilibrio stilistico che fa di questo romanzo uno dei grandi classici del Novecento. Prefazione di Sara Antonelli, Postfazione di Tommaso Pincio.

Fitzgerald, you have ruined me. Fitzgerald can set a scene so perfectly, flawlessly. He paints a world of magic and introduces one of the greatest characters of all time, Jay Gatsby. Gatsby is the embodiment of hope, and no one can dissuade him from his dreams. Have you ever had a dream that carried Leggi tutto
Bright lights, big city When I avowed my disenchantment with Tender Is the Night , a few GR friends urged me to read The Great Gatsby to truly appreciate F. Scott Fitzgerald. I cannot but admit The Great Gatsby was a far more exhilarating read than I had expected it to be, its tight composition an
