World classics. The Great Gatsby. Fitzgerald F.S.

This edition presents famous novels that made up the glory of one of the most interesting writers of the twentieth century Francis Scott Fitzgerald. He became a handle of ideas and an expression of the mental mood of the youth of the 1920s. The lips of the hero of the novel published here - “On this side of Paradise” (1920) - he announced that a generation came, for whom “all the gods died, all wars had died out, all faith was undermined.” Fitzgerald was the first to tell the world about the beginning of the “age of jazz” with his carnival lifestyle, which he adhered to himself... However, being a subtly sensing artist, he could not but see the dual nature of this phenomenon. In his best novel, the Great Gatsby (1925) Fitzgerald made it clear that the Carnival of Genesis naturally ends with the life bankruptcy of its participants.
