Sinossi
"Il grande Gatsby" è considerato il capolavoro di F. Scott Fitzgerald e un capolavoro della letteratura mondiale. Pubblicato nel 1925 e ambientato nell'estate del 1922, viene spesso identificato con l'Età del jazz, di cui illustra il fascino e gli eccessi, le aspirazioni e le disillusioni. L'ascesa e il fallimento del protagonista diventano parabola del sogno americano in un romanzo capace di incarnare un'epoca e di trascenderla, di rappresentare gli Stati Uniti e i suoi miti di fondazione, ma anche di toccare temi e archetipi universali. Una grande storia d'amore e di morte, un poliziesco ricco di suspense, una gangster story, un racconto di formazione, un dramma esistenziale che questa nuova traduzione col testo a fronte consente di apprezzare pienamente.

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
Jay Gatsby, you poor doomed bastard. You were ahead of your time. If you would have pulled your scam after the invention of reality TV, you would have been a huge star on a show like The Bachelor and a dozen shameless Daisy-types would have thrown themselves at you. Mass media and modern fame would
once upon a time, i had a very long, very passionate review of this book uploaded, with very long, very passionate pages of comments, and generally it was one of my favorite reviews (and of one of my favorite books) with one of my favorite ensuing discussions. today i realized goodreads deleted it! re Leggi tutto
Our fantasies of grandeur are always restricted by our aesthetic tastes and The Great Gatsby is literally an anthem to vulgarity and fraudulence… But his heart was in a constant, turbulent riot. The most grotesque and fantastic conceits haunted him in his bed at night. A universe of ineffable gaudine Leggi tutto
