Sinossi

F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby" remains a seminal work in American literature, encapsulating the excess and disillusionment of the Jazz Age. Set against the backdrop of the Roaring Twenties, the narrative unfolds through the eyes of Nick Carraway, who becomes entangled in the opulent but hollow world of Jay Gatsby. Fitzgerald employs a lyrical prose style, rich with symbolism and poignant imagery, crafting a critique of the American Dream and its moral decay. The novel's context reflects the tumultuous changes of post-World War I America, illuminating themes of love, betrayal, and the relentless pursuit of wealth. Fitzgerald, born in 1896, navigated the fascinating yet treacherous waters of fame and fortune himself, which heavily informed his writing. His acute observations of societal norms and human ambition stem from his experiences in both affluent circles and struggling artistic communities. The rise and fall of Gatsby mirrors Fitzgerald'Äôs own aspirations and disappointments, rendering the author an astute chronicler of his time, whose insights resonate profoundly. Readers are invited to delve into this unabridged edition of "The Great Gatsby," where each sentence is imbued with the brilliance of Fitzgerald's craftsmanship. This timeless narrative not only entertains but also compels reflection on the nature of success, the illusions of love, and the fragile American Dream. A must-read for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of human desire and ambition.

    George Orwell, was an English novelist, essayist, journalist and critic. His work is characterized by lucid prose, biting social criticism, total opposition to totalitarianism, and outspoken support of democratic socialism. 
     
    Orwell produced literary criticism and poetry, fiction and polemical journalism. He is known for the allegorical novella Animal Farm (1945) and the dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949). His non-fiction works, including The Road to Wigan Pier (1937), documenting his experience of working-class life in the north of England, and Homage to Catalonia (1938), an account of his experiences soldiering for the Republican faction of the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939), are as critically respected as his essays on politics and literature, language and culture. In 2008, The Times ranked George Orwell second among "The 50 greatest British writers since 1945". 
     
    Orwell's work remains influential in popular culture and in political culture, and the adjective "Orwellian"—describing totalitarian and authoritarian social practices—is part of the English language, like many of his neologisms, such as "Big Brother", "Thought Police", "Two Minutes Hate", "Room 101", "memory hole", "Newspeak", "doublethink", "unperson", and "thoughtcrime", as well as providing direct inspiration for the neologism "groupthink".
