Великий Гэтсби — Фрэнсис Фицджеральд APK

The Great Gatsby is the work of the American writer Francis Fitzgerald. It was published on April 10, 1925 and is a typical representative of the so-called Century of Jazz in American literature. The novel The Great Gatsby was started by Fitzgerald in New York, and finished and published in Paris, where he then resided during his journey through Europe.

The action of the novel The Great Gatsby, whose main story line is a love story with a detective and tragic ending, is developing near New York, on the "golden coast" of Long Island, among the villas of the rich. In the 1920s, following the chaos of World War I, American society entered an unprecedented period of prosperity: in the "roaring twenties", the US economy was rapidly developing. At the same time, the "dry law" made many bootleggers millionaires and gave a significant impetus to the development of organized crime. Admiring the rich and their charm, Fitzgerald at the same time questions unlimited materialism and the moral crisis of America of that era.

Although the Great Gatsby was staged on Broadway and screened in Hollywood shortly after the release, the novel did not become particularly famous during the author's lifetime - about 24,000 copies of Fitzgerald's book were sold. During the Great Depression and World War II, it was forgotten and gained popularity only in the fifties.
