"The Great Gatsby" (English original) is a masterpiece handed down by Francis Scott Fitzgerald. It is set in the "Jazz Age" of the United States in the 1920s. It tells the tragic story of how Gatsby rose from the bottom to become a rich man, and how he went to destruction in pursuit of his lost love.
The novel has gorgeous language and rich emotions. It profoundly reveals the emptiness and loss behind materialism, as well as critical thinking on the "American Dream". It is fascinating and thought-provoking.
Reader comments
I can't comment after reading it only once. Some scenes are so beautiful that I even laughed while reading it. So good!
