The Diamond as Big as the Ritz

Meer over het boek

Originally published in 1922, this story showcases F. Scott Fitzgerald's unique storytelling through a blend of opulence and absurdity. It explores themes of wealth, privilege, and the moral dilemmas that come with extreme riches. The narrative unfolds in a world where a lavish estate, made entirely of diamonds, serves as a backdrop for the characters' complex relationships and the consequences of their extravagant lifestyle. Fitzgerald's sharp wit and keen observations make this tale a thought-provoking reflection on the American Dream.
