Obra-prima de F. Scott Fitzgerald, este clássico do século XX retrata a alta sociedade de Nova York na década de 1920, com sua riqueza sem precedentes, festas nababescas e o encanto das melindrosas ao som do jazz. O sol em ascensão desse universo cintilante e musical é o enigmático milionário Jay Gatsby, ao redor do qual orbitam três casais glamorosos e desencontrados, numa trama densa, repleta de intrigas, paixões e conflitos que precipitam o trágico eclipse. Recriação soberba de um dos períodos mais prósperos da história dos Estados Unidos, O grande Gatsby é uma crítica mordaz à insensibilidade e imoralidade revestidas de ouro da chamada Era do Jazz, e um dos melhores romances — talvez o melhor — já escritos nesse país.

Work Description

Here is a novel, glamorous, ironical, compassionate – a marvelous fusion into unity of the curious incongruities of the life of the period – which reveals a hero like no other – one who could live at no other time and in no other place. But he will live as a character, we surmise, as long as the memory of any reader lasts.

"There was something gorgeous about him, some heightened sensitivity to the promises of life.... It was an extraordinary gift for hope, a romantic readiness such as I have never found in any other person and which it is not likely I shall ever find again."

It is the story of this Jay Gatsby who came so mysteriously to West Egg, of his sumptuous entertainments, and of his love for Daisy Buchanan – a story that ranges from pure lyrical beauty to sheer brutal realism, and is infused with a sense of the strangeness of human circumstance in a heedless universe.

It is a magical, living book, blended of irony, romance, and mysticism.
