Durante décadas, y acercándose a su centenario, El gran Gatsby ha sido considerada una obra maestra de la literatura y candidata al título de Gran novela americana por su dominio al mostrar la pura identidad americana junto a un estilo distinto y maduro.La historia se desarrolla en la era del jazz americana en Long Island y New York y, con una narrativa que no da respiro al lector, nos presenta la vida de millonarios y socialites de la época, tentados por la posesión tanto del dinero como del amor romántico.La novela fue inspirada por un affaire que Scott Fitzgerald tuvo con Ginevra King en 1922 y fue escrita en la Riviera francesa en los siguientes años.El destino de la novela es tal vez tan trágico como la historia misma que narra, dado que el autor nunca supo del éxito posterior que le estaba destinado y murió con la convicción de haber escrito un texto fracasado; tal vez reflejando el tema mismo de la novela, donde la tragedia personal toma un valor simbólico de la imposibilidad del sueño americano.

En la apacible costa de la Riviera francesa, a mitad de camino aproximadamente entre Marsella y la frontera con Italia, se alza orgulloso un gran hotel de color rosado. Unas amables palmeras refrescan su fachada ruborosa y ante él se extiende una playa corta y deslumbrante. Últimamente se ha convertido en lugar de veraneo de gente distinguida y de buen tono, pero hace una década se quedaba casi desierto una vez que su clientela inglesa regresaba al norte al llegar abril. Hoy día se amontonan los chalés en los alrededores, pero en la época en que comienza esta historia sólo se podían ver las cúpulas de una docena de villas vetustas pudriéndose como nenúfares entre los frondosos pinares que se extienden desde el Hôtel des Étrangers, propiedad de Gausse, hasta Cannes, a ocho kilómetros de distancia.

This Side of Paradise is the debut novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald, published in 1920. The book examines the lives and morality of carefree American youth at the dawn of the Jazz Age. This Side of Paradise is a good springboard from which to jump into F. Scott Fitzgerald's other works. It provides the reader with a good deal of background information about his own life and psyche. It's an enjoyable read, but not what I'd necessarily call a page-turner. This Side of Paradise chronicles the life of Amory Blaine from his childhood up through his early twenties.

The third collection of short tales by F. Scott Fitzgerald, All the Sad Young Men, was released by Scribners in February 1926. Fitzgerald created the tales during a period of disappointment.

There are nine stories in the collection. The Rich Boy "" Winter Dreams "" The Baby Party "" Absolution "" Rags Martin-Jones and the Pr-nce of W-les "" The Adjuster "" Hot and Cold Blood "" The Sensible Thing "" Gretchen's Forty Winks""

Raconté par un voisin devenu son ami, le roman tourne autour du personnage de Gatsby, jeune millionnaire charmant au passé trouble qui vit luxueusement dans une villa toujours pleine d'invités. Par certains aspects, le livre peut paraître une critique complexe de la bourgeoisie, de son opulence et de sa superficialité, où chaque personnage est prêt à tout pour parvenir à ses fins.Nick Carraway, un jeune homme américain du Middle West atteignant la trentaine, se rend à New York pour travailler dans la finance comme agent de change. Par hasard, il trouve à louer une petite bicoque à Long Island, zone résidentielle très huppée et snob de la banlieue new-yorkaise. Sa demeure, presque invisible, est située dans West Egg entre deux énormes et luxueuses villas. De là, la vue est imprenable sur East Egg, l'endroit le plus cossu et sélect de toute la zone. C'est là qu'habitent Daisy, sa cousine germaine et Tom Buchanan, son mari, issu de la même promotion que Nick à l'université Yale.Nick se rend un soir chez les Buchanan, qu'il connaît à peine, sur invitation de Daisy. Tom, beau et riche colosse, mais quelque peu bourru paraît végéter auprès de Daisy, laquelle semble tout autant s'ennuyer ferme avec son mari. Elle passe le plus clair de son temps avec son amie Jordan Baker, joueuse de golf professionnelle.Tom, peu de temps après, demande à Nick de l'accompagner pour lui présenter sa maîtresse, Myrtle Wilson, la femme d'un garagiste sur la route qui relie New York à Long Island. Nick, témoin de l'inconstance de Tom, de l'enlisement du couple qu'il forme avec Daisy, n'aurait guère d'intérêt à fréquenter les Buchanan s'il n'y avait le rapprochement de plus en plus sensible avec la belle Jordan. Celle-ci s'étonne qu'il ne connaisse pas Gatsby puisqu'il habite West Egg, comme lui, et qu'on ne parle que de cet homme à la richesse fabuleuse.Gatsby, justement, c'est son voisin. C'est lui qui possède l'immense maison très animée qui occulte celle misérable de Nick. Gatsby donne fréquemment des réceptions somptueuses qui accueillent des centaines de convives. Mais qui est Jay Gatsby? D'où vient-il? Que fait-il? Les rumeurs les plus folles circulent sur son passé et sa fortune, même au sein de sa propre maison. C'est ce que Nick brûle de découvrir lorsqu'un jour il reçoit une invitation pour passer la soirée chez Gatsby. Une incroyable histoire va lier Nick, Tom, Gatsby, Jordan, Myrtle et Daisy pendant cet été 1922...
