Description

The Great Gatsby is one of the most iconic and valuable books written by Scott Fitzgerald. This readable book is in the top 100 books in the world. The original edition of this book was published on April 10, 1925 in 218 pages, which after its publication, was not widely acclaimed by the public and critics, and did not see much sales. The English name of this novel by Fitzgerald is The Great Gatsby.

The amazing thing about this book is that it has sold more than 25 million copies worldwide. One of the most influential sentences in this book is written at the very beginning of the book!

“When I was younger and earlier, my father gave me advice that I still think about.

My father had said: “Whenever you see that you want to criticize someone, just remember that the people of the world did not have all these opportunities that you have.”

The narrator of this book is the great Gatsby neighbor, Karwai.
This book was published in the twentieth century and can now be read as one of the most influential and glorious works of American classical literature.

This book has a narrator who is also Gatsby’s neighbor. Perhaps the most fascinating part of the book that the reader expects to read at any given moment is the clarification of Gatsby’s personality traits. This readable book by Fitzgerald addresses issues such as an over-desire for success, corruption, frustration over failure, and the American dream. Perhaps everyone can read this book. Because this book, with the concepts presented in it, completely destroys time and place, and anyone anywhere and anytime can learn different lessons from this book.

Gatsby’s great novel narrates the readiness of greed, lust, and endless ruin caused by wealth. Gatsby is famous in this book for a reason, and that is the aristocratic and glorious parties he holds. There are various rumors among the people about how Gatsby’s wealth was acquired, but no one really knows how and in what way this vast wealth came to Gatsby.

If you, like many readers, like to read a film about this book after reading it, we suggest you watch a film of the same name by Baz Lumen, which was made in 2013. This film has won the Oscar for Best Costume Design. Gatsby’s character in this novel is very contrasting and sometimes like two heads of a color spectrum, sometimes the narrator introduces him as a respectable person and sometimes he is a person who hates him.
The great book by Fitzgerald is undoubtedly one of the greatest novels of the twentieth century, which at the height of elegance and art, offers its messages to the audience in the mold, debauchery, ruin and carelessness that all lie in wealth.

The Great Gatsby is a masterpiece of classic American literature that’s apparently a story about a man’s fruitless love for a woman. However, the main theme of the novel has a larger and less romantic scope. This book deals with various critiques of the themes of justice, power, peace, betrayal, the American dream, and most of all, the differences of social classes.

F. squat. Contrary to popular belief that the rich are all of one class, Fitzgerald Francis Scott has divided them into two classes. The first group has the old wealth and the second group, the Gatsby class or the new wealth. A very appropriate and delicate point that FitzGerald brings in his story is related to the third class or the “bipoles”. The only representative of this stratum at the end of the story is Gatsby.
This novel depicts a rich America after the First World War. Gatsby is the protagonist of the book, a self-made and great man who, like any other human being, has a collection of goodnesses and badnesses, but his goodnesses are greater than his badnesses, and his biggest mistake is the stubbornness and insistence on an impossible wish. Sometimes you have to adapt to the world and its misfortunes and go around the world! What Gatsby did not do, and because he wanted to get to the destination the closest way, he could not compete with the world and fell.

In part of the great Gatsby book we read:
One autumn night – five years ago – when the autumn leaves were falling, they walked down the street and then reached a place where there were no trees and the sidewalk was whitened by the moonlight. They stood facing each other. It was a cold night with a mysterious thrill that only happened twice a year when the weather changed.

The light of the chandeliers rushed silently into the darkness outside, and there was a commotion among the stars. Gatsby could see out of the corner of his eye that the sidewalk wall blocks were like ladders. He climbed over them and saw a hidden place at the top of the trees, if he was alone he could climb, and if he climbed, he could stand on the roof of the world and taste the sweet taste of victory.

His heart beats faster and faster. Daisy’s white face stood in front of his. He knew that if he kissed this girl and married his unspeakable fantasies to her mortal soul forever, his thoughts would never be as confused as the thoughts of God. So he waited and listened for a few more moments to the sound of a diapason being played to other stars. Next, kiss her. When he put his lips on Daisy’s lips, his lips parted like a flower and the spirit was completely blown into his body.
In The Great Gatsby, the story of conventional human life is told; But this book has deep human lessons that have nothing to do with time or place, and anyone can learn from it in any situation.

Excerpts from The Great Gatsby
One autumn night – five years ago – when the autumn leaves were falling, they walked down the street and then reached a place where there were no trees and the sidewalk was whitened by the moonlight. They stood facing each other.

It was a cold night with a mysterious thrill that only happened twice a year when the weather changed. The light of the chandeliers rushed silently into the darkness outside, and there was a commotion among the stars. Gatsby could see out of the corner of his eye that the sidewalk wall blocks were like ladders. He climbed over them and saw a hidden place at the top of the trees, if he was alone he could climb, and if he climbed, he could stand on the roof of the world and taste the sweet taste of victory.

His heart beats faster and faster. Daisy’s white face stood in front of his. He knew that if he kissed this girl and married his unspeakable fantasies to her mortal soul forever, his thoughts would never be as confused as the thoughts of God.

So he waited and listened for a few more moments to the sound of a diapason being played to other stars. Next, kiss her. When he put his lips on Daisy’s lips, his lips parted like a flower and the spirit was completely blown into his body.
