F. S. Fitzgerald, one of the most outstanding American writers of the 20th century, sang a gorgeous elegy for the "Jazz Age" with the temperament of a poet and dreamer. In his short life of forty-four years, he experienced many ups and downs, and he saw all the hardships of the world in the Vanity Fair. At the end of the 20th century, American academic authorities selected one hundred of the best novels in the century-old English literature. The novel "The Great Gatsby", which embodies Fitzgerald's extraordinary talent, ranked second.
In the United States in the 1920s, the air was filled with singing and drinking. By chance, Nick, a poor clerk, breaks into the secret world of Gatsby, a lavish spender. He is surprised to find that the only connection in his heart is the little green light on the other side of the river - in the flickering shadow of the light, lives his beloved Daisy. However, reality cannot tolerate misty dreams. In the end, the goddess in Gatsby's heart is just a material girl in the earthly world. When all the truth is revealed, Gatsby's tragic life is like fireworks. The brilliance is only for a moment, and the disillusionment is eternal.
