The Great Gatsby

Buchbewertung

Mehr zum Buch

The Great Gatsby is widely regarded as one of the masterpieces of American fiction. It tells of the mysterious Jay Gatsby’s grand effort to win the love of Daisy Buchanan, the rich girl who embodies for him the promise of the American dream. Deeply romantic in its concern with self-making, ideal love, and the power of illusion, it draws on modernist techniques to capture the spirit of the materialistic, morally adrift, post-war era Fitzgerald dubbed “the jazz age.” Gatsby’s aspirations remain inseparable from the rhythms and possibilities suggested by modern consumer culture, popular song, the movies; his obstacles inseparable from contemporary American anxieties about social mobility, racial mongrelization, and the fate of Western civilization. This Broadview edition sets the novel in context by providing readers with a critical introduction and crucial background material about the consumer culture in which Fitzgerald was immersed; about the spirit of the jazz age; and about racial discourse in the 1920s.

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!
