THE GREAT GATSBY, F. Scott Fitzgerald's third book, stands as the supreme achievement of his career. This exemplary novel of the Jazz Age has been acclaimed by generations of readers. The story of the fabulously wealthy Jay Gatsby and his new love for the bearutiful Daisy Buchanan, of lavish parties on Long Island at a time when The New York Times noted "gin was the national drinnk and sex the national obsession," it is an exquisitely crafted tale of America in the 1920s.

The Great Gatsby is one of the great classics of twentieth-century literature. (back cover)

Been a while since I've read this - the audio book did it justice.

"They were careless people, Tom and Daisy - they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness, or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made"

Review of 'The Great Gatsby' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

Er zijn weinig romans zo splijtend als The Great Gatsby. De een vindt het met recht een tijdloze klassieker, de ander kan zo tien betere romans opdissen. Zelf behoor ik gelukkig tot de eerste groep. Het is een compacte, complete roman, vol met zelfingenomen (maar complexe) personages, mooi proza, symboliek en wijze inzichten. Hoe je aan decadentie ten onder kunt gaan wordt op schitterende wijze in kaart gebracht. De Roaring Twenties op zijn destructiefst.
