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

整個夏天,在陌生人家裡跳舞。每個週末,一位大富豪都會敞開他在紐約附近的豪宅。人們不請自來,盡情跳舞。他叫蓋茲比,沒人知道他的錢從何而來。
