The Great Gatsby. Night is tender. Fitzgerald F.S.

The Great Gatsby (1925) - the “stormy” twenties of the last century... the time of chic parties, “dry law” and “light” money... These “new Americans” are confident that the heyday will be eternal, that having reached the heights of power and wealth, they will gain personal happiness... This was Jay Gatsby, who became a victim of a meaningless pursuit of a captivating dream of true and eternal love, which was not destined to come true...

"The night is gentle" (1934) - in many ways The autobiographical novel, which Fitzgerald himself called his favorite work. This novel is the story of the difficult relationships of the young American actress Rosemary, the young talented psychiatrist Dick Diver and his wife Nicole, whose illness is the drama of Fitzgerald himself (his wife Zelda suffered from schizophrenia). This is a novel about love, passion, desire to maintain marriage, despair and self -deception, in which the face of the whole era is visible behind the fate of individual heroes.
