The Great Gatsby (The Great Gatsby) is a novel by Francis Scott Fitzgerald published for the first time in New York on April 10, 1925, and defined by T.S. Eliot as "the first step forward made by American fiction since Henry James".
Background of the Book.
Set in New York and Long Island during the summer of 1922, The Great Gatsby is the most acute portrait of the soul of the Jazz Age, with its contradictions, its victimhood, and its tragedy. The story, which following the technique of Henry James is told by one of the characters, tells the tragedy of the American myth that had ruled the country since the time of the landing at Plymouth Rock and can be considered the spiritual autobiography of Fitzgerald who, at a certain point in his life, closed with alcoholism and the life of a playboy, wanted to understand what had been the obstacles that had made his existence sinking.
Book Considerations.
- The Great Gatsby is widely considered to be a literary masterwork and a contender for the title of the Great American Novel.
- the first step forward made by American fiction since Henry James
- The strength of this book is the unique way in which it deals with the theme of social class, inherited versus self-generated wealth, race and environmentalism, and the concept of the American Dream.
