 bibliotecayamaguchi | Mar 9, 2022 |  The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald's third book, stands as the supreme achievement of his career. This exemplary novel of the Jazz Age has been acclaimed by generations of readers. The story is of the fabulously wealthy Jay Gatsby and his new love for the beautiful Daisy Buchanan, of lavish parties on Long Island at a time when The New York Times noted "gin was the national drink and sex the national obsession," it is an exquisitely crafted tale of America in the 1920s. Daniel464 | Oct 6, 2021 | Jay Gatsby, el caballero que reina sobre West Egg, el anfitrión de las noches sin tregua, pero también el triunfador marcado por el trágico sino de una soledad no pretendida, es el arquetipo de esos años veinte que se iniciaron con la prohibición y discurrieron en el gangsterismo y la corrupción política organizada. Protagonista de una década que culminaría con la catástrofe de 1929, su imagen de esplendor no hace sino anunciar un drama inevitable. Triunfo de perpetua juventud, brillantez animada por el exceso, fueron también las constantes de la vida de Francis Scott Fitzgerald, quien nos ofrece en El gran Gatsby una de sus obras mayores. mirthasotelo | Mar 23, 2020 | EL GRAN GATSBY ESTA CONSIDERADA DE MANERA UNÁNIME COMO UNA DE LAS MEJORES NOVELAS ESTADOUNIDENSES DE LA HISTORIA.

CHIH-00-GO | Dec 23, 2019 | The exemplary novel of the Jazz Age, F. Scott Fitzgeralds' third book, The Great Gatsby (1925), stands as the supreme achievement of his career. T. S. Eliot read it three times and saw it as the "first step" American fiction had taken since Henry James H. L. Mencken praised "the charm and beauty of the writing," as well as Fitzgerald's sharp social sense and Thomas Wolfe hailed it as Fitzgerald's "best work" thus far. The story of the fabulously wealthy Jay Gatsby and his love for the beautiful Daisy Buchanan, of lavish parties on Long Island at a time when, The New York Times remarked, "gin was the national drink and sex the national obsession," it is an exquisitely crafted tale of America in the 1920s that resonates with the power of myth. A novel of lyrical beauty yet brutal realism, of magic, romance, and mysticism, The Great Gatsby is one of the great classics of twentieth-century literature. This is the definitive, textually accurate edition of The Great Gatsby, edited by Matthew J. Bruccoli and authorized by the estate of F. Scott Fitzgerald. The first edition of The Great Gatsby contained many errors resulting from Fitzgerald's extensive revisions and a rushed production schedule, and subsequent editions introduced further departures from the author's intentions. This critical edition draws on the manuscript and surviving proofs of the novel, along with Fitzgerald's later revisions and corrections, to restore the text to its original form. It is The Great Gatsby as Fitzgerald intended it. smokeironman | May 12, 2018 |
 The Great Gatsby is a romance novel that written by American Author F.Scott Fitzgerald.This novel is talk about the New Yorker in 1900s.The Great Gatsby is a classic piece of American fiction. It is a novel full of triumph and tragedy.Nick Carraway is the narrator, or storyteller, of The Great Gatsby, but he is not the story's protagonist, or main character. Instead, Jay Gatsby is the protagonist of the novel that bears his name. Tom Buchanan is the book's antagonist, opposing Gatsby's attempts to get what he wants: Tom's wife Daisy. The weakness of this book is they using the classic languange and a little difficult to understand.The weakness also about Gatsby affection to Daisy,He spends that money on lavish parties in the hopes that she will show up.When she finally spends time with him, for the first time in many years, he naively believes that she will leave Tom for him but,unfortunately she is not. However,the strength of this book is the writer are using the unique title so the reader are feel sympathy and curious about it, also the characteristic about Jay Gatsby that teach the reader many lesson. To conclude,this book is the very recommended book,especially High School students because Fitzgerald’s novel is a portal to the savage heart of the human spirit, and wonders at our enormous capacity to dream, to imagine, to hope and to persevere. The great Gatsby is truly a romance book like no other.F.SCOTT.Switzgerald describing about the life of New Yorker in 1900s.This novel is very popular many students if high school are required by their teachers to read this book.The narrator of The Great Gatsby is a young man from Minnesota named Nick Carraway. He not only narrates the story but casts himself as the book’s author.As ive read about this book,Gatsby’s personality was nothing short of “gorgeous.” moreover,the weakness about this book is hard to understand if u are not really pay attention on it.this novel is about a contradiction,Gatsby's idealism makes him blind.He doesn't see that Daisy can't have love and money, just money. Gatsby can't turn back time.He even doesn't see death coming toward him. However,the strength of this book something quite different from others,it is the charm and beauty of writing,has many important meanings that should be learned early on in life. To conclude,what i can say is don't be too obsessed just because you have so much money,money ain't last forever.but overall its a magnificent,fantastically, entertaining and enthralling story.  "The Great Gatsby" is in form no more than a glorified anecdote, and not too probable at that What gives the story distinction is something quite different from the management of the action or the handling of the characters; it is the charm and beauty of the writing.  I find Gatsby aesthetically overrated, psychologically vacant, and morally complacent; I think we kid ourselves about the lessons it contains. None of this would matter much to me if Gatsby were not also sacrosanct. There is the convoluted moral logic, simultaneously Romantic and Machiavellian, by which the most epically crooked character in the book is the one we are commanded to admire. There’s the command itself: the controlling need to tell us what to think, both in and about the book. There’s the blanket embrace of that great American delusion by which wealth, poverty, and class itself stem from private virtue and vice. There’s Fitzgerald’s unthinking commitment to a gender order so archaic as to be Premodern: corrupt woman occasioning the fall of man. There is, relatedly, the travesty of his female characters—single parenthesis every one, thoughtless and thin. (Don’t talk to me about the standards of his time; the man hell-bent on being the voice of his generation was a contemporary of Dorothy Parker, Gertrude Stein, and Virginia Woolf, not to mention the great groundswell of activists who achieved the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment. Yet here he is in A Short Autobiography: “Women learn best not from books or from their own dreams but from reality and from contact with first-class men.”) It is an impressive accomplishment. And yet, apart from the restrained, intelligent, beautifully constructed opening pages and a few stray passages thereafter—a melancholy twilight walk in Manhattan; some billowing curtains settling into place at the closing of a drawing-room door—Gatsby as a literary creation leaves me cold. Like one of those manicured European parks patrolled on all sides by officious gendarmes, it is pleasant to look at, but you will not find any people inside. Indeed, The Great Gatsby is less involved with human emotion than any book of comparable fame I can think of. None of its characters are likable. None of them are even dislikable, though nearly all of them are despicable. They function here only as types, walking through the pages of the book like kids in a school play who wear sashes telling the audience what they represent: OLD MONEY, THE AMERICAN DREAM, ORGANIZED CRIME.

Una extraordinaria fábula sobre el sueño americano. Nominada por los estadounidenses como una de las 100 mejores novelas en la serie de PBS The Great American Read. Jay Gatsby, el caballero que reina sobre West Egg, es el arquetipo de aquellos míticos años veinte en que pareció que todo era posible, un tiempo de felicidad entre el horror de la Primera Guerra Mundial y la barbarie de la Segunda. Junto al resto de los protagonistas, representa a la Generación Perdida, a todos aquellos «jóvenes tristes» que personificaron el mito de la pasión y el desamor, de la literatura que se funde con la vida. Publicada por primera vez en 1925, El gran Gatsby está considerada como La Gran Novela Americana. Simboliza el triunfo, la perpetua juventud y el deslumbramiento que desembocan en la tragedia, la decadencia y la caída, constantes reflejadas con asombrosa precisión en la propia vida de Fitzgerald. «El gran Gatsby es el primer paso adelante dado por la narrativa norteamericana desde Henry James.» - T. S. Eliot«Él tenía una de las cualidades más raras en la literatura: encanto, encanto como Keats lo había tenido ¿y quién lo posee hoy día?» - Raymond Chandler «Fitzgerald representa el estilo, la profundidad y la lucidez... Hay frases en sus libros que quedarán grabadas para siempre en tu memoria... Bienvenido sea cualquier pretexto cinematográfico si sirve para que los lectores jóvenes descubran a Fitzgerald. Los viejos nunca hemos dejado de releerlo. La adicción que crea es para siempre.» Carlos Boyero, Babelia «Fitzgerald era el mejor de todos nosotros.» -Ernest Hemingway «Fitzgerald es mi autor favorito.» -Haruki Murakami «Le leerán cuando muchos de sus contemporáneos estén olvidados.» -Gertrude Stein ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Nominated as one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read The Great Gatsby, F.
