The Great Gatsby

Meer over het boek

Set against the backdrop of the Jazz Age, the story delves into themes of ambition and disillusionment in the pursuit of the American Dream. The enigmatic Jay Gatsby, driven by his desire to rekindle a romance with Daisy Buchanan, navigates a world of wealth and excess, yet remains an outsider. Fitzgerald's sharp prose and personal experiences enrich this cautionary tale, revealing the emptiness behind the glittering facade of 1920s America and the tragic consequences of longing for an unattainable ideal.
