Durante décadas, y acercándose a su centenario, El gran Gatsby ha sido considerada una obra maestra de la literatura y candidata al título de Gran novela americana por su dominio al mostrar la pura identidad americana junto a un estilo distinto y maduro.La historia se desarrolla en la era del jazz americana en Long Island y New York y, con una narrativa que no da respiro al lector, nos presenta la vida de millonarios y socialites de la época, tentados por la posesión tanto del dinero como del amor romántico.La novela fue inspirada por un affaire que Scott Fitzgerald tuvo con Ginevra King en 1922 y fue escrita en la Riviera francesa en los siguientes años.El destino de la novela es tal vez tan trágico como la historia misma que narra, dado que el autor nunca supo del éxito posterior que le estaba destinado y murió con la convicción de haber escrito un texto fracasado; tal vez reflejando el tema mismo de la novela, donde la tragedia personal toma un valor simbólico de la imposibilidad del sueño americano.

"He smiled understandingly -- much more than understandingly. It was one of those rare smiles with a quality of eternal reassurance in it, that you may come across four or five times in life. It faced-orr seemed to face-thee whole eternal world for an instant, and then concentrated on you with an irresistible prejudice in your favor. It understood you just as far as you wanted to be understood, believed in you as you would like to believe in yourself, and assured you that it had precisely the impression of you that, at your best, you hoped to convey."

While The Great Gatsby is a highly specific portrait of American society during the Roaring Twenties, its story is also one that has been told hundreds of times, and is perhaps as old as America itself: a man claws his way from rags to riches, only to find that his wealth cannot afford him the privileges enjoyed by those born into the upper class. The central character is Jay Gatsby, a wealthy New Yorker of indeterminate occupation. Gatsby is primarily known for the lavish parties he throws each weekend at his ostentatious Gothic mansion in West Egg. He is suspected of being involved in illegal bootlegging and other underworld activities.
