The Great Gatsby

F. Scott Fitzgerald
A beautiful new edition of F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic novel The Great Gatsby to coincide with the release of Baz Luhrmann's film. 'There was music from my neighbour's house through the summer nights. In his blue gardens men and girls came and went like moths among the whisperings and the champagne and the stars.' Everybody who is anybody is seen at the glittering parties held in millionaire Jay Gatsby's mansion in West Egg, east of New York. The riotous throng congregates in his sumptuous garden, coolly debating Gatsby's origins and mysterious past. None of the frivolous socialites understands him and among various rumours is the conviction that 'he killed a man'. A detached onlooker, Gatsby is oblivious to the speculation he creates, but always seems to be watching and waiting, though no one knows what for. As writer Nick Carraway is drawn into this decadent orbit, Gatsby's destructive dreams and passions are revealed, leading to disturbing and tragic consequences. 'Not only a page turner and heartbreaker, it's one of the most quintessentially American novels ever written' Time F. Scott Fitzgerald was born in St Paul, Minnesota in 1896. He studied at Princeton University before joining the army in 1917. In 1920 he married Zelda Sayre. Their traumatic relationship and subsequent breakdowns became a major influence on his writing. Among his publications were five novels, This Side of Paradise, The Great Gatsby, The Beautiful and the Damned, Tender is the Night and The Last Tycoon (his last and unfinished work); six volumes of short stories and The Crack-Up, a selection of autobiographical pieces. F. Scott Fitzgerald died suddenly in 1940.

"When you try to criticize someone, always remember that not every person in this world has the privileges you have." The reviews written for the book were generally positive, but it was not a book that impressed me much. Because the story was very ordinary. A popular man who got rich for his love and did everything to get her back... On the other hand, a woman who did not love her husband... An incomplete love story from the past... Rich, popular people... Of all these people The hero of the novel, who is in a lower class and tries to make sense of the events and tells them to us... Rather than this ordinary subject of the novel, the author's narrative never drew me into the book. There is confusion and disconnection in the book. Maybe that's why I couldn't warm up to the book. Maybe it is not like this in the original English, but we have nothing to do, the language we can read is Turkish... In fact, it was a book that was adapted for the big screen rather than a novel, and it was. It's definitely a movie script, from the subject of the story to the characters. In fact, the ending of the story was a true Yeşilçam classic. That's why I can say that watching the movie was more enjoyable. Overall, I can say that it is a novel about 20th Century America that you will not regret but may get bored at times. In fact, the realities of America told in the background of the story are beautifully woven into the book. This was what I liked most about the book. Let's put all this aside; We can prove that the author has achieved his goal with this work, with the following words said by the author about his work: "An unusual, beautiful, simple and complex patterned work." Then the matter is closed. Enjoyable reading everyone...

The Great Gatsby is not a simple book, but America's first book reflects the post-World War II period, that is, the 21st century, well. The transition period of American citizens who are rapidly becoming richer is beautifully depicted. It is one of the books whose value was not appreciated in its period. The author said, when he wrote it, that he had written the greatest American novel. The value of the novel was understood later. In the story based on a love story, it reveals the reality of America. There is also a movie, I suggest you watch the book as well. I wish you a pleasant reading and thank the 1K team for offering us such a beautiful medium.
