Riassunto

<b>Long regarded as one of the greatest American novels of the twentieth century, <i>The Great Gatsby</i> expresses many of the central themes of the American myth: romance, love, the quest for wealth and status, loneliness, and corruption.</b><br><br>The novel follows Jay Gatsby, a mysterious self-made man, in his desperate quest for the love of the beguiling Daisy Buchanan—and for a place in the highest ranks of society. Gatsby’s fate reflects the emptiness and disappointment that come from his search.<br><br>First published in 1925, Gatsby is regarded as the epitome of the spirit of the Roaring Twenties: the fast life, new wealth, and a glamour and a frivolity that prove to be hollow. Fitzgerald’s genius portrays this world with humor, insight, and the profound sympathy that is the hallmark of all great fiction.<br><br>F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940) was one of the most admired writers of the twentieth century. His works include <i>This Side of Paradise, The Beautiful and Damned,</i> and <i>Tender Is the Night. The Great Gatsby</i> is by far his best-known and most beloved novel.<br><br>Richard Smoley, author of the foreword and afterword, is the distinguished author of twelve books, mostly recently <i>The Truth about Magic,</i> also published by G&D. A graduate of Harvard and Oxford universities, he published <i>First Flowering: The Best of the Harvard Advocate, 1866–1976, </i>while still an undergraduate.
