Book summary

In the America of the Roaring Twenties, the mysterious Jay Gatsby throws huge parties every weekend at his mansion by the water. His young neighbour gradually discovers what lies behind all this luxury: a youthful love that Gatsby has never forgotten.

Beyond the love story, this short novel by Fitzgerald paints a critical portrait of a society fascinated by money and appearances.

Fitzgerald writes with elegance and clarity, and his novel is a pleasure to read in the language you are learning.

The plot

整个夏天,在陌生人家里跳舞。每个周末,一位大富豪都会敞开他在纽约附近的豪宅。人们不请自来,尽情跳舞。他叫盖茨比,没人知道他的钱从何而来。

The world of the book

1922年,纽约近郊。美国迅速致富,随着爵士乐起舞。顶级富豪们在纽约附近的狭长岛屿——长岛上修建城堡般的豪宅。故事就发生在那里,海湾两岸两个隔水相望的村镇。盖茨比住在一边,他曾爱过的女人黛西住在另一边。
