作者費茲傑羅利用1920年代的社會發展為蓋茨比做鋪陳,從簡單的細節如汽車,到更加寬泛的主題如販私酒暴富,暗喻當時的犯罪文化等。通過敘述一個易使讀者產生共鳴、不隨時代褪色的故事,揭露咆哮的二十年代浮華社會背後的真相。
When writer Nick Carraway leaves the Midwest for West Egg, near New York City, in the spring of 1922, he is swept into the dazzling world of his fabulously wealthy neighbor, Jay Gatsby. No one knows where Gatsby or his money comes from, but the parties at his mansion are legendary. Aloof and above the fray, Gatsby scans the crowd for one person in particular—Nick’s beautiful, inscrutable cousin Daisy Buchanan, who lives right across the bay. A sharp satire of the Jazz Age and the American Dream, and one of the twentieth century’s greatest novels, The Great Gatsby is the defining work of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s career.
