The Great Gatsby the Great Gatsby (English Original)

Content introduction: "The Great Gatsby" was published in 1925. It is the representative work of American writer Fitzgerald, which established his status as the spokesperson of the "Jazz Age" and the representative writer of the "Lost Generation" in the 1920s. At the end of the 20th century, American academic authorities selected the 100 best novels from a century of English literature, and "The Great Gatsby" ranked second. The story tells the story of Nick, a bank clerk, who left his hometown and came to New York. Gatsby's luxurious life and mysterious personal background aroused his curiosity. It turns out that this wealthy businessman came from a poor background but fell in love with the lady Daisy. The outbreak of the world war broke up the lovers. Gatsby returns from the battlefield with great achievements, but what awaits him is the news that his sweetheart has married someone else. Heartbroken, he did whatever it took to become a millionaire, spend money like water, and play the flute all night long, just to attract Daisy's attention and regain his lost love. Nick was moved by Gatsby's infatuation and helped connect the two. Little did they know that Daisy was no longer what she was before, but had a money-worshiping face. Reliving her old dream with Gatsby was just the excitement she sought outside of marriage. In an accident, Daisy killed her husband Tom's lover Mrs. Wilson while driving. Gatsby decided to take the blame to save his sweetheart, but Tom used this to instigate Wilson to kill Gatsby. The ruthless Daisy did not attend Gatsby's funeral, but instead embarked on a European tour with her husband. Gatsby ended his absurd and tragic life hastily. And Nick, who witnessed the unkindness and injustice in the world, also left the noisy, indifferent, empty and false New York and returned to his hometown sadly.
