Der große Gatsby (Originaltitel: The Great Gatsby) ist ein 1925 erstmals veröffentlichter Roman des US-amerikanischen Autors F. Scott Fitzgerald. Er schildert die Erlebnisse einer Reihe unterschiedlicher Personen, die den Sommer 1922 in der fiktiven Stadt West Egg auf der Insel Long Island nordöstlich von New York City verbringen. Hauptperson ist der junge und mysteriöse Millionär Jay Gatsby, der seit Jahren die schöne Daisy Buchanan liebt, die während seines Militärdiensts einen anderen Mann geheiratet hat.

Der große Gatsby führt uns mitten hinein in die Goldenen Zwanziger Jahre, und dementsprechend rauschend und glanzvoll geht es darin zu. Das Leben ist für den Handlungsträger eine Folge von Partys, die nicht enden will, mit deren Hilfe er das Herz seiner Liebsten zurückzuerobern trachtet. Ein fragwürdiges Ansinnen, doch es gibt gute Gründe dafür, die noch zu erläutern sind. Zumindest aus der Perspektive des Erzählers sind sie, wenn nicht angebracht, so doch bemerkenswert.

Jay Gatsby is still in love with Daisy, whom he met during the war when he was penniless. Having made himself wealthy through illegal means, he now lives in a mansion across the bay from the home of Daisy Buchanan, who has since married for money. Holding on to his illusion of Daisy as perfect, he seeks to impress her with his wealth, and uses his new neighbor, Nick Carraway (our narrator), to reach her.

Long Island, 1922: Auf dem luxuriösen Anwesen des jungen Millionärs Jay Gatsby amüsiert sich allabendlich die High Society New Yorks. Doch der geheimnisvolle Gastgeber selbst hat kein Interesse an Swing und Champagner. Mit den rauschenden Festen und seinem neu erworbenen Reichtum möchte er nur Daisy anlocken, seine große Jugendliebe, die inzwischen mit dem reichen Tom Buchanan verheiratet ist. Die Figur Gatsby wurde zum Sinnbild des amerikanischen Traums – und seines Scheiterns.

No one - fictional or factual - embodies the Jazz Age as completely as F. Scott Fitzgerald's Jay Gatsby. First published in 1925, this legendary novel continues to enthrall generations as it serves as a lens to view our not-so-distant past. Many of our notions about that period are taken from this book. Bathtub gin, flappers, and house parties that last all week enliven Fitzgerald's classic tale. Stylish and engaging, The Great Gatsby is also a startling literate portrait of Gatsby's search for meaning in his opulent world.

When F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote The Great Gatsby in the early 1920s, the American Dream was already on the skids. Originally based on the idea that the pursuit of happiness involves not only material success but moral and spiritual growth, the dream had by Fitzgerald's time become increasingly focused on money and pleasure—a phenomenon the high-living writer was only too familiar with.

The year is 1922, and young Nick Carraway moves to the village of West Egg, where he discovers that his neighbor is the eclectic millionaire Jay Gatsby. As he and Gatsby become acquainted, Nick is thrown into a world full of dazzling parties, unrequited love, and unchecked idealism. Gatsby, surrounded by riches, yearns for the love of a woman who chose another man. He waits for her every night, using a green light at the end of his dock to call out to her from across the water.

Narrator Nick Carraway tells the story of his neighbour Jay Gatsby, whose parties at his Long Island mansion are as lavish as his past is mysterious. Yet Gatsby cares only for one of his guests: his lost love Daisy Buchanan, now married and living across the bay. In Fitzgerald’s hands, this deceptively simple story becomes a perfect work of art, told in hauntingly beautiful prose.
