Publisher's Synopsis
An unfound short story by the author of The Great Gatsby read in Korean and English.
"About Anson Hunter" is a translated version of the short story "The Rich Boy", written by F. Scott Fitzgerald. This story explores the themes of relationships, love, and personality of a wealthy young man who was born into a privileged life. Anson Hunter, the protagonist of the story, represents old money, whereas Jay Gatsby from "The Great Gatsby" represents new money.
This short story is a psychological analysis of how old money affects one's mindset, extending the themes explored in The Great Gatsby. Fitzgerald successfully resolves the slow decline of old money during the 1920s in this excellent piece of writing.
Reading literature written in a foreign language is an effective way to learn it. "About Anson Hunter" is a bilingual book that includes a Korean translation of the original English text. This makes it a great language-learning tool as readers can enjoy the book in both languages simultaneously and improve their language skills along the way.
