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 | Una extraordinaria fabula sobre el sueño americano. El gran Gatsby es un retrato de la Jazz Age que captura el espíritu de la generación de Scott Fitzgerald y le concede un trono permanente en el Olimpo de la literatura norteamericana. El millonario hecho a sí mismo, Jay Gatsby, personaliza una de las obsesiones del autor y de la sociedad de su pais: la combinación de dinero, ambición y lujuria como promesa de nuevos comienzos. La crítica ha dicho:”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. (  ) HavanaIRC | Aug 9, 2016 | Otra vez, como en otras obras norteamericanas (por ejemplo, "Panorama desde el puente" de MIller), muchos temas en pocas páginas, pero todos presentados con naturalidad, sin amalgamiento, a la vez pero no revueltos. El clasismo y el racismo; el amor y el dinero (o la posición social); la inteligencia, la cultura y el poder; el sueño americano; la abundancia material y la miseria moral. Aquí tenemos también al personaje cercano pero suficientemente al margen que nos relata la acción y nos retrata a sus protagonistas, y a éstos, que se nos revelan profundamente humanos, con sus luces y sus sombras todos. Cada lector podrá escoger a su gusto cuál de ellos favorecerá con sus simpatías y cual de ellos será maldito en su interior, y para todo encontrará argumentos suficientes. Por encima o por debajo, una forma de narrar a la vez superficial y cínica, y sorprendentemente emotiva y delicada. Fitzgerald dota a cada paisaje, a cada fiesta y a cada personaje de una dimensión moral dentro de su historia, sin abandonar nunca una cierta languidez, que podría interpretarse como despreocupación, paralela a las actuaciones de sus personajes. El resultado es que el lector se mancha del ambiente que el autor le propone casi sin darse cuenta y, sobre todo, a través del placer que solo dan las muy buenas lecturas. La edición se complementa con una deliciosas ilustraciones a tres colores (blanco, negro y azul), al estilo de los cuentos infantiles. (  ) caflores | Jul 13, 2014 |
 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.

Written with extraordinary insight and delicate prose, El gran Gatsby gives us a glimpse into the complexity characterizing North American society at the beginning of the 20th Century. Sophisticated taste, extravagant lifestyles, destructive obsessions, and loneliness are all clearly portrayed through Gatsby and his obsessive quest for a woman out of his reach. This novel and Fitzgerald's short story of a man who starts life in his seventies and gets younger with time are included in this book. Dueño de una prosa delicada, con pasajes poéticos de extrema belleza estética, Scott Fitzgerald supo narrar como pocos las miserias de las clases acomodadas de la sociedad norteamericana de principios de siglo XX, en tiempos del jazz pero también de la Primera Guerra Mundial. Mezcló, en iguales dosis, la parafernalia afectada de los ricos con el buen gusto y las emociones más profundas, sobre todo el amor, la pasión y la melancolía. El gran Gatsby y El extraño caso de Benjamin Button, sus textos más reconocidos, condensan lo mejor de este autor, un verdadero clásico de la literatura norteamericana, cuya obra exquisita pero contundente persiste a lo largo del tiempo.
