The Great Gatsby

starting this week we still remember with sadness the fate of the last days of Lorca, also yesterday I learned that a lot of unscrupulous persons have taken advantage of this misfortune for personal gain by using the resources for those affected to meet their "needs." It's embarrassing. However, there are no words that have not been said already and I encourage all to follow the instructions in the post before this to work. Since leaving this issue aside, as usual, today I present a review of a classic as The Great Gatsby F. Scott Fitzgerald and had not had time to read so far. Also published in Shvoong and always superb site H-Horror. Here you have it and I hope ye all a good week. A hug to everyone.

The Great Gatsby is "The Great American Novel", the symbol of a time when it seemed that everything was possible, a time happiness between the horror of the First World War and the barbarity of the Second. First published in 1925, The Great Gatsby symbolizes like no other work of Fitzgerald success and fall with amazing precision reflected in his own life. In 1974 he was made into a film by Jack Clayton with Robert Redford and Mia Farrow as protagonists, and Baz Luhrmann is currently preparing a new adaptation.

I must confess I had never noticed in this novel, nor do I have drawn attention in the least if he had not been recommended in several pages of literature and a great writer and friend not have one of the novels most estimates in their personal library. This is a work that could well be described as timeless for the themes it touches. In addition, it is surprising to appreciate how, with almost a century apart, some aspects of the society of that time are too much like the present, especially in regard to human feelings and their development in society. It is a fact that may be able to come to overwhelm the sensitive reader, because it speaks of a society rotten shiny in appearance and in its interior luxury and flattery, of image and pose, whose players move automatically while their souls are torn apart before falsehood in which they live and sometimes die. It is a novel that, a priori, there appears to contain a great plot, but there is nothing further from reality. Its pages contain a marvelous story of love and personal growth and also has a delightful prose worthy of the honors that are made of it, is perhaps the literary style that makes reading more and closer to the author.

is not a story of mafia or gangster, just a chronic mild early-century society in America that has as its background the adventures of a poor and simple man (this is just knowing key later in retrospect) that reaches the status needed to woo the woman of his dreams. To do this we find that not everything that glitters is gold brushed under the layer of luminosity, opulent, smart, hides the dirt of those who are attached to the lives of others like leeches and then, once embarrassment, rotate the view to the other side and then move on to another host to suck blood. In a very subtle, this classic of literature pertaining to Lost Generation of the Jazz Age , introduces us to the moral and ethics of the time of a class well above average and we makes clear that some things change and others ... other people just change.
