Aufstieg und Ende eines skrupellosen Emporkömmlings. Schonungsloses Gesellschaftsbild der obersten Klassen. Set in the post-Great War Long Island/New York world of the rich. The narrator, Nick Carraway, sympathetically records the pathos of Gatsby's romantic dream which founders on the reality of corruption, the insulated selfishness of Tom and Daisy, and the cutting edge of violence.
