Jay Gatsby, el caballero que reina sobre West Egg, es el arquetipo de aquellos míticos años veinte en que pareció que todo era posible, un tiempo de felicidad entre el horror de la Primera Guerra Mundial y la barbarie de la Segunda. Junto al resto de los protagonistas, representa a la Generación Perdida, a todos aquellos «jóvenes tristes» que personificaron el mito de la pasión y el desamor, de la literatura que se funde con la vida.

Publicada por primera vez en 1925, El gran Gatsby está considerada como La Gran Novela Americana. Simboliza el triunfo, la perpetua juventud y el deslumbramiento que desembocan en la tragedia, la decadencia y la caída, constantes reflejadas con asombrosa precisión en la propia vida de Fitzgerald.

Work Description

Here is a novel, glamorous, ironical, compassionate – a marvelous fusion into unity of the curious incongruities of the life of the period – which reveals a hero like no other – one who could live at no other time and in no other place. But he will live as a character, we surmise, as long as the memory of any reader lasts.

"There was something gorgeous about him, some heightened sensitivity to the promises of life.... It was an extraordinary gift for hope, a romantic readiness such as I have never found in any other person and which it is not likely I shall ever find again."

It is the story of this Jay Gatsby who came so mysteriously to West Egg, of his sumptuous entertainments, and of his love for Daisy Buchanan – a story that ranges from pure lyrical beauty to sheer brutal realism, and is infused with a sense of the strangeness of human circumstance in a heedless universe.

It is a magical, living book, blended of irony, romance, and mysticism.
