Fitzgeralds Meisterwerk im englischen Original "The Great Gatsby" is one of the most important works of modern American literature. Fitzgerald deals with topics such as decadence, excesses, idealism, resistance to change and social upheaval. He created an apt portrait of the "Roaring Twenties", the 1920s in the United States, which were characterized by economic growth, prohibition, crime, jazz and flappers. Jay Gatsby is a young millionaire and obscure businessman. His mysterious origin, his unclear education and his seemingly immeasurable wealth are stuff of many rumours. Although he organizes glittering dance parties for the New York society in his house, he is a lonely man. At the bottom of his heart, he wants to bring back the past and be together again with the love of his life, Daisy.

Autorenporträt
F. Scott Fitzgerald starb 1940 im Alter von nur 44 Jahren in der Überzeugung, sein Lebensziel verfehlt zu haben, sich als bedeutender Autor seiner Zeit zu beweisen. Sein erster Roman "This Side of Paradise" (Diesseits vom Paradies), der 1920 erschien, hatte ihn für kurze Zeit bekannt gemacht. Bereits in den 1930er Jahren war er jedoch weitgehend in Vergessenheit geraten. In den 1940er Jahren wiederentdeckt, gilt er heute zu den bedeutendsten US-amerikanischen Autoren des 20. Jahrhunderts. "Der große Gatsby" zählt heute zu den größten Werken der amerikanischen Moderne. Weitere Werke Fitzgeralds sind: The Beautiful and Damned, Tales of the Jazz Age, All the Sad Young Men, Tender Is the Night.
