~To appreciate Nature's background sounds, we suggest using headphones~
Description:
The Great Gatsby is now in the public domain within the United States and most other countries. It was released on 17th January 2021as a Project Gutenberg E-Text Edition.
The Great Gatsby is F. Scott Fitzgerald's brilliant fable of the hedonistic excess and tragic reality of the "roaring twenties” in America. It is considered by critics as potentially one of the greatest novels ever written and has become a staple in the English curriculum in schools across the globe.
Young, handsome and fabulously rich, Jay Gatsby is the bright star of the Jazz Age - writer Nick Carraway is drawn into the decadent orbit of his Long Island mansion, where the party never seems to end. He first met his extravagant neighbour in the summer of 1922 when he moved to West Egg village who had a rumoured past and a passion for throwing parties but not participating in them. Nick comes to find himself absorbed by the mystery of Gatsby's origins and desires.
Fitzgerald brilliantly captures both the disillusionment of post-war America and the moral failure of a society obsessed with wealth and status. In chronicling Gatsby's tragic pursuit of his dream, Fitzgerald re-creates the universal conflict between illusion and reality.
About the Author:
F. Scott Fitzgerald, in full Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald, was born September 24, 1896 in St. Paul, Minnesota, U.S. and died December 21, 1940 in Hollywood, California. Fitzgerald attended Princeton University, joined the United States Army during World War I, and published his first novel, This Side of Paradise, in 1920.
Like Jay Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940) has acquired a mythical status in American literary history, and his masterwork The Great Gatsby is considered by many to be the 'great American novel’. Fitzgerald's other masterpieces include The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, The Beautiful and Damned, Tender Is the Night and died at the age of forty-four while working on The Last Tycoon.
Fitzgerald was the only son of an unsuccessful, aristocratic father and an energetic, provincial mother. Half the time he thought of himself as the heir of his family’s tradition, named after his distant cousin, Francis Scott Key, authoring in 1814 the lyrics for the American national anthem "The Star-Spangled Banner" and half the time as “straight 1850 famine Irish”. As a result he had typically ambivalent feelings about American life, which seemed to him at once vulgar and dazzlingly promising. In 1920 he married Zelda Sayre, dubbed 'the first American Flapper’, a subculture of young western woman known for wearing short dresses and bobbed hair and for embracing freedom from traditional societal constraints. She is said to be an inspiration for the character Daisy in The Great Gatsby.
Died doing the thing he loves, Fitzgerald left an indelible impact in the world of writing and literature with his use of vivid imagery and metaphors to provide a visual picture of his characters and settings to incorporate deeper meaning beyond just physical appearance.
