Written with extraordinary insight and delicate prose, "El gran Gatsby" gives us a glimpse into the complexity characterizing North American society at the beginning of the 20th Century. Sophisticated taste, extravagant lifestyles, destructive obsessions, and loneliness are all clearly portrayed through Gatsby and his obsessive quest for a woman out of his reach. This novel and Fitzgerald s short story of a man who starts life in his seventies and gets younger with time are included in this book."
