The Great Gatsby

F. Scott Fitzgerald

23,445 words

ニューヨーク郊外の高級住宅地ロング・アイランドに建つジェイ・ギャツビーの大邸宅は、まばゆい光を放っていた。ニューヨークからやって来た金持ちや有名人がシャンパン片手に一晩中パーティを繰り広げていたのである。だが、館の主ギャツビーが求めるものはただひとつ―5年もの間、心の中で追い求めてきた女性を探し出すことだった。20世紀のアメリカ文学を代表する、F・スコット・フィッツジェラルドの名作『グレート・ギャツビー』。1920年代の“ジャズ・エイジ”と呼ばれた人々の姿を見事に捉え、アメリカン・ドリームを夢見る心の空洞を鋭く描き出している。

Gatsby's mansion on Long Island blazes with light, and the beautiful, the wealthy, and the famous drive out from New York to drink Gatsby's champagne and to party all night long. But Jay Gatsby, the owner of all this wealth, wants only one thing - to find again the woman of his dreams, the woman he has held in his heart and his memory for five long years. The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald's masterpiece, is one of the great American novels of the twentieth century. It captures perfectly the Jazz Age of the 1920s, and goes deep into the hollow heart of the American Dream.
