The Great Gatsby

BOKEN "THE GREAT Gatsby" är en klassisk roman skriven av F. Scott Fitzgerald och anses vara författarens mästerverk. Handlingen kretsar kring den unga Nick Carraway, som blir inbjuden till en extravagant fest i en pampig herrgård på Long Island. Där möter han den gåtfulle värdet Jay Gatsby, en självsäker och reserverad man med oklara affärsintressen och en dunkel bakgrund. Trots sina olikheter utvecklar de två en oväntad vänskap, och genom berättelsen avslöjas Gatsbys omöjliga kärlek till en gift kvinna, vilket leder till en tragedi. Romanen ger en levande skildring av överflöd och dekadens under "Jazzåldern", samtidigt som den fungerar som en tidlös varnande kritik av den amerikanska drömmen. Med sitt fokus på teman som kärlek, vänskap, och samhällsklasser, har "The Great Gatsby" cementerat sin plats som en av de största amerikanska litterära verk någonsin.
