Is a 1925 novel by American writer F. Scott Fitzgerald. Set in the Jazz Age on Long Island, the novel depicts narrator Nick Carraway's interactions with mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby and Gatsby's obsession to reunite with his former lover, Daisy Buchanan. A youthful romance Fitzgerald had with socialite Ginevra King, and the riotous parties he attended on Long Island's North Shore in 1922 inspired the novel. Following a move to the French Riviera, he completed a rough draft in 1924. He submitted the draft to editor Maxwell Perkins, who persuaded Fitzgerald to revise the work over the following winter. After his revisions, Fitzgerald was satisfied with the text, but remained ambivalent about the book's title and considered several alternatives. The final title he desired was Under the Red, White, and Blue. Painter Francis Cugat's final cover design impressed Fitzgerald who incorporated a visual element from the art into the novel.

Es ist hier im Prinzip eine unterhaltsame Geschichte, teils mit vielen Banalitäten gespickt, teils wieder tiefgründig. Man hat das Gefühl, dass das Ende sehr plötzlich kommt und einen aus der Geschichte reißt. Unterhaltsam und lesenswert, aber auch etwas overhyped

Dieses Buch finde ich sehr interessant, weil man viel über die Lebensart und Stimmung der damaligen Zeit in Amerika erfährt. Ausserdem ist es eine spannende und tragische Liebesgeschichte, empfehlenswert!
