Description:
Published in 1925, F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby has endured as his masterpiece and one of the greatest novels of the 20th century. Set in 1922 on Long Island among the new rich of the Jazz Age, the book tells of the mysterious Jay Gatsby and his obsession with the beautiful yet aloof Daisy Buchanan. However, Fitzgerald intended it as more than just a story – it was also a vehicle to capture the zeitgeist of a post-war American society in the midst of radical change.
The novel offers a vivid portrait of the Roaring Twenties – a period defined by prosperity, hedonism and the rise of consumerism. Characters like Gatsby symbolize the self-made millionaires who prospered during this era yet still yearned for acceptance by the established upper class. Deeper themes examine the American Dream of social and economic mobility, the decay of old values amid new wealth, and disillusionment as the optimism of the 1920s gave way to the impending Great Depression.
Through lyrical prose and intricate symbolism, Fitzgerald crafted an enduring work that resonated deeply with its time yet remains profoundly relevant.
