The Great Gatsby

Buchbewertung

Mehr zum Buch

Day and Night Jay Gatsby's mansion on West Egg buzzes with bright young things drinking, dancing and debating his mysterious character. For Gatsby - young, handsome, fabulously rich - always seems alone in the crowd, watching and waiting, although no one knows what for. Beneath the shimmering surface of his life he is hiding a secret longing that can never be fulfilled. In The Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald brilliantly captures both the disillusion of post-war America and the moral failure of a society obsessed with wealth and status. But he does more than render the essence of a particular time and place, for in chronicling Gatsby's tragic pursuit of his dream, Fitzgerald re-creates the universal conflict between illusion and reality.

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!
