Великий Гэтсби

The Great Gatsby rightfully belongs to the list of the best works of the 20th century. The plot unfolds against the enchanting and vibrant backdrop of the 1920s... An era of jazz, lavish parties, Prohibition, and "easy" money... Jay Gatsby embodies the so-called American Dream—wealth, high status, and universal acclaim. He is a self-made man who once aimed to cast all his riches and the glamour of luxury at the feet of that one special person. Yet, upon closer inspection, his life, dreams, and aspirations turn out to be nothing more than a pursuit of illusions. This book will appeal to anyone interested in American culture and studying the English language. The unadapted text of the novel is accompanied by page-by-page commentary and a glossary.
