adorará Adira ao LibraryThing para descobrir se gostará deste livro. Hey, it's me again...'The Great Gatsby'....Remember? From 10th grade? The jeremiad about Jazz Age decadence? The litmus-test for all 20th-century American novels? West Egg? Nick Carraway? Rampant classism and clandestine romance? Remember...?Oh...all you remember is 'West Egg'? For shame...I was a novel before Cliffs Notes were even invented, dude. I suggest you call up Mrs. Mulcahy and ask her to remind you why she assigned me in the first place. (  )  lanewilkinson | Dec 4, 2009 |  Just didn't work for me - I couldn't connect with any of the characters. I see it's value in American literature, but will never be a favorite of mine. (  )1  ascgrrl | Nov 29, 2009 | Langweilig: Leider kann ich mich dem Lob meiner Vorredner nicht ganz (bzw. überhaupt nicht) anschließen. Ich finde dieses Buch einfach langweilig. Es ist keinerlei Spannungsbogen drin, die Figuren sind so schemenhaft gezeichnet, dass sich kein Interesse für sie einstellt. Darüber hinaus weist die Geschichte etliche Sprünge auf, die sie sehr gekünstelt erscheinen lassen. Dazu ist die Übersetzung an vielen Stellen reichlich holprig. Warum dieser Roman zur Weltliteratur gezählt wird, erschließt sich mir nicht. r1hard | Nov 22, 2009 | Rilettura del libro dopo 25 anni. Mentre la prima parte non mi convince (ho avuto difficoltà a leggerla con scioltezza), la seconda è affascinante e coinvolgente grazie alla complicità che si crea tra narratore e protagonista. Bel quadro dell'America, delle sue contraddizioni, delle differenze tra città e provincia, est e ovest. (  ) permario | Nov 11, 2009 | The Great Gatsby, is one of those stories that feels as familiar as something that happened to you, yet is so far outside of what could be considered normal interaction. The deadpan Nick, the larger than life Gatsby, and the longing for the first and only love you may ever have. The 1920s come alive in F. Scott Fitzgerald's masterpiece, and upon each subsequent reading each character comes more alive, vibrant, and tragic than before.

| Descrição do livro |
|
This is the definitive, textually accurate edition of a classic of twentieth-century literature, The Great Gatsby. The story of the fabulously wealthy Jay Gatsby and his love for the beautiful Daisy Buchanan has been acclaimed by generations of readers. But the first edition contained a number of errors resulting from Fitzgerald's extensive revisions and a rushed production schedule. Subsequent printings introduced further departures from the author's words. This edition, based on the Cambridge critical text, restores all the language of Fitzgerald's masterpiece. Drawing on the manuscript and surviving proofs of the novel, along with Fitzgerald's later revisions and corrections, this is the authorized text -- The Great Gatsby as Fitzgerald intended it.
