A worldwide bestseller
The Great Gatsby, an immortal classic by Francis Scott Fitzgerald

Fitzgerald, a representative American writer, was recognized as a darling of the American literary world when he published The Great Gatsby in 1925.
That's why it's impossible to talk about modern American novels without mentioning The Great Gatsby.
America in the 1920s was a time of chaos and disorder, with Puritanical piety crumbling, a society dominated by vain materialism, moral decay, a hedonistic social climate, and vanity obsessed with wealth and status.


In the midst of this maelstrom of chaos, his novel The Great Gatsby revealed an unfiltered portrait of the American dream.
Fitzgerald expressed his affection for The Great Gatsby by saying that it was “the best novel I have ever written in English.”
The Great Gatsby is a work that represents his worldview and remains a steady bestseller to this day.


The significance of The Great Gatsby is that it does not end with simply showing the dark crisis of the times.
The novel possesses exceptional artistic value from a literary perspective, including its symbols and images, specific descriptions and expressiveness, and new and groundbreaking perspectives.
Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby," a representative work of the Lost Generation, allows us to immerse ourselves in his attitude toward life, his yearning for love, and the inherent loneliness and solitude of human nature.


The desire for wealth and success and romantic love were motifs that dominated Fitzgerald's literature throughout his life.
This work poignantly portrays the transitional period of America, the fundamental desires of humankind, and the love and hopes that were not realized in youth through Gatsby's romantic life.
Let's take a fresh look at The Great Gatsby, a captivating blend of lyrical descriptions, clever satire, and brilliant prose that makes you feel like you're meeting living, breathing characters.
The Great Gatsby, which opened the horizons of modern American literature and embraced both human desire and innocence, will still be a deeply moving work of art no matter the time.

If I had to choose just one book from all of America, it would be The Great Gatsby.
