This is book is an absolute work of art. The simple and subtle way in which the story wraps you in a feeling of love and affection is magnificent. The attention to detail and the smooth flow of this book are just some of the contributing factors towards its immense success.&nbsp;I am a huge fan of this piece of literature. It is soft and comforting but it can be loud and violent when needed.

The Great Gatsby

What are the chances of Nick moving in next door to Jay? Was this planned? My rational brain says that the possibility of Gatsby planning something like this is a million to one. But, it is more likely that Gatsby would have planned such a thing. I mean why not? He bought a big empty home just to be as close to Daisy as he could. He did love her a lot. And had already made immense efforts to make contact. Why couldn't he have planned this too? He obviously had enough connections.

Nick Carraway moves in next door

I hated the end because of what Gatsby had to face. He wholeheartedly gave his life to Daisy and all she did was crush it, in the end. What hurts more is Daisy to be with a lying, cheating bastard instead of the man who loved her the most.&nbsp;Gatsby gave her his whole life. He waited for so long just to have half an hour to spend with her one day. On a personal level, I don't feel that he was particularly optimistic about his plans working out. But he couldn't just give up without trying.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The poor old Gatsby

The Great Gatsby is a timeless piece of art. Why? Because it is so relevant. Written in 190s, The Great Gatsby is still one of the most popular reads. Even after a century it is one of the best books to get your hands on. The major cause beind this is that it uncovers basic human nature at unimaginable debths. Just think about what Nick does, What Daisy does, How Tom acts, Aren;'t these things relatable? Don't you expect humans to act this way. Its revelvant, its real, its timeless.

The Great Gatsby is Timeless

A beautiful new edition of F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic novel The Great Gatsby to coincide with the release of Baz Luhrmann's film. 'There was music from my neighbour's house through the summer nights. In his blue gardens men and girls came and went like moths among the whisperings and the champagne and the stars.' Everybody who is anybody is seen at the glittering parties held in millionaire Jay Gatsby's mansion in West Egg, east of New York. The riotous throng congregates in his sumptuous garden, coolly debating Gatsby's origins and mysterious past. None of the frivolous socialites understands him and among various rumours is the conviction that 'he killed a man'. A detached onlooker, Gatsby is oblivious to the speculation he creates, but always seems to be watching and waiting, though no one knows what for. As writer Nick Carraway is drawn into this decadent orbit, Gatsby's destructive dreams and passions are revealed, leading to disturbing and tragic consequences. 'Not only a page turner and heartbreaker, it's one of the most quintessentially American novels ever written' Time F. Scott Fitzgerald was born in St Paul, Minnesota in 1896. He studied at Princeton University before joining the army in 1917. In 1920 he married Zelda Sayre. Their traumatic relationship and subsequent breakdowns became a major influence on his writing. Among his publications were five novels, This Side of Paradise, The Great Gatsby, The Beautiful and the Damned, Tender is the Night and The Last Tycoon (his last and unfinished work); six volumes of short stories and The Crack-Up, a selection of autobiographical pieces. F. Scott Fitzgerald died suddenly in 1940.

Books

The Great Gatsby, by the American author F. Scott Fitzgerald, is one of the great novels of twentieth-century literature. Set in the Long Island of 1922, it provides a critical social history of America during the “Roaring Twenties”, an era that Fitzgerald himself dubbed the “Jazz Age”, known for unprecedented economic prosperity, the evolution of jazz music, flapper culture, and bootlegging and other criminal activity. A historic period when “gin was the national drink and sex the national obsession”, as classified by The New York Times.
