Jay Gatsby is the man who has everything. But one thing will always be out of his reach ... Everybody who is anybody is seen at his glittering parties. Day and night his Long Island mansion buzzes with bright young things drinking, dancing and debating his mysterious character. For Gatsby - young, handsome, fabulously rich - always seems alone in the crowd, watching and waiting, though no one knows what for. Beneath the shimmering surface of his life he is hiding a secret: a silent longing that can never be fulfilled. And soon this destructive obsession will force his world to unravel.
A curious book, a mystical, glamourous story of today.
The story of Jay Gatsby of West Egg is told by Nick Carraway, who is one of the legion from the Middle West who have moved on to New York and finds in Long Island a fascinating but dangerous playground. Gatsby’s fortune, business, even his connection with underworld figures, remain vague generalizations. Of his uncompromising love — his love for Daisy Buchanan — his effort to recapture the past romance — we are explicitly informed. This patient romantic hopefulness against existing conditions symbolizes Gatsby.

Εξαιρετικό!
Πραγματικά εξαιρετικό! Σε καθηλώσει και με δεξιοτεχνία σε βάζει στον ίδιο το χώρο όπου διαδραματιζεται! Καλογραμμένο, ατμοσφαιρικό, υπέροχο!

Υπέροχο. Βυθίζεσαι στον κόσμο και τη ζωή που ξετυλίγονται μπροστά σου, μέχρι του σημείου να ενσωματώνεσαι και να αφομοιώνεσαι στις σελίδες του.

Ωραιο
Ενδιαφέρουσα πλοκή με εντονο ρομαντικό στοιχείο. Δειχνει με πολλή λεπτομέρεια την ατμοσφαιρα εκεινης της εποχης.
