After the First World War, the evil of the century raged. In 1922, Gatsby becomes rich overnight. Rumours about the origins of his fortune, which did not have parties every night and still receive prevents so many people at home. He is madly in love with Daisy, married to Tom, a millionaire. Gatsby will undertake everything to get closer to her. The story is told by another character who sees the world with a different look and more authentic because it does not belong to the jet set.
This book describes a futile world, tinsel where happiness is only apparent and reflects great suffering. Sometimes absurd situations reveal the naivete of some rich and boredom. Snobbery and money to no end can be sufficient in themselves and drama cruelly catching whoever had built a carapace, disenchantment is total. Sad end for him, which we dandy was attached.
