This is an automatically translated description

Francis Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940) was an American writer, author of many novels and short stories about the Jazz Age generation, a vivid representative of the so-called "lost generation."

The events in The Great Gatsby take place in America in the early 20s of the 20th century. The times of Prohibition and gangster showdowns, a colourful life. Thirty-year-old Nick Carraway came to New York to study banking. It is he who tells the reader about the adventure in which he found himself involved. The main character of the story is his closest neighbour, a young man named Jay Gatsby - the Great Gatsby. This is a man who has created himself according to the recipes of American morality and who is very rich, but despite this, he is extremely lonely. The Great Gatsby's love for Daisy becomes a huge tragedy not only for him...

The publication also includes the novel The Tender Is the Night, a love story of a rich couple, Dick and Nicole Driver, who live a merry and beautiful life. A subtle understanding of the life experience of a whole generation of young Americans born after the First World War, who fell out of the context of the so-called "American Dream", puts Fitzgerald's novels in a number of outstanding phenomena of American and world literature of the last century.
