The Great Gatsby - Velký Gatsby
Anglicko-česká zrcadlová četba pro středně pokročilé. Velký Gatsby je nejslavnějším románem Francise Scotta Fitzgeralda. Příběh se odehrává v New Yorku 20. let minulého století, kdy nečekaná hospodářská prosperita přinesla i ztrátu morálních hodnot. Jay Gatsby se ve snaze získat milovanou dívku dostane do nejvyšších vrstev společnosti, kde je vyhledáván pro své bohatství i tajemství, jež ho obestírá, ale nikdy do ní opravdu nezapadne, neboť pro něj jsou stále nejvyšší hodnotou vztahy mezi lidmi. Gatsbyho tragický konec je absurdním omylem, jako by jen podtrhoval prázdnotu a povrchnost světa bohatých.
The Great Gatsby is the most famous novel by Francis Scott Fitzgerald. The story takes place in New York of 1920s, when unexpected economic prosperity brought about the loss of moral values. Jay Gatsby, trying to get his beloved girl gets into the high society, becoming popular for his richness and mystery that exists around him, but never really fits into it, because human relationships are still the highest value for him. Gatsbys tragic end is an absurd mistake, as if it only emphasizes the emptiness and superficiality of the rich world.

The Great Gatsby (EN)
“Gatsby?” asked Daisy urgently. “What Gatsby?” Could it be the same young army lieutenant whom Daisy Fay met five years ago – and who owns a sumptuous house on Long Island, where New York society enjoys the best parties on offer? Is it just coincidence that Gatsby lives across the bay from Daisy – now married to wealthy polo-player Tom Buchanan? As one man’s mysterious dream moves towards its ultimately tragic conclusion, Midwesterner Nick Carraway is drawn into the dark world of Gatsby’s past and present – a world of hidden frustrations and superficial relationships which perfectly illustrates the “careless and confused” nature of America’s Jazz Age.

The Great Gatsby
In 1922, F. Scott Fitzgerald announced his decision to write "something new--something extraordinary and beautiful and simple + intricately patterned." That extraordinary, beautiful, intricately patterned, and above all, simple novel became The Great Gatsby, arguably Fitzgerald's finest work and certainly the book for which he is best known. A portrait of the Jazz Age in all of its decadence and excess, Gatsby captured the spirit of the author's generation and earned itself a permanent place in American mythology. Self-made, self-invented millionaire Jay Gatsby embodies some of Fitzgerald's--and his country's--most abiding obsessions: money, ambition, greed, and the promise of new beginnings. "Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgiastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that's no matter--tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther.... And one fine morning--" Gatsby's rise to glory and eventual fall from grace becomes a kind of cautionary tale about the American Dream.
It's also a love story, of sorts, the narrative of Gatsby's quixotic passion for Daisy Buchanan. The pair meet five years before the novel begins, when Daisy is a legendary young Louisville beauty and Gatsby an impoverished officer. They fall in love, but while Gatsby serves overseas, Daisy marries the brutal, bullying, but extremely rich Tom Buchanan. After the war, Gatsby devotes himself blindly to the pursuit of wealth by whatever means--and to the pursuit of Daisy, which amounts to the same thing. "Her voice is full of money," Gatsby says admiringly, in one of the novel's more famous descriptions. His millions made, Gatsby buys a mansion across Long Island Sound from Daisy's patrician East Egg address, throws lavish parties, and waits for her to appear. When she does, events unfold with all the tragic inevitability of a Greek drama, with detached, cynical neighbor Nick Carraway acting as chorus throughout. Spare, elegantly plotted, and written in crystalline prose, The Great Gatsby is as perfectly satisfying as the best kind of poem.

"Now we have an American masterpiece in its final form: the original crystal has shaped itself into the true diamond. This is the novel as Fitzgerald wished it to be, and so it is what we have dreamed of, sleeping and waking." -- James Dickey

The Great Gatsby is a novel by the American author F. Scott Fitzgerald. First published on April 10, 1925, it is set on Long Island's North Shore and in New York City during the summer of 1922.
The novel takes place following the First World War. American society enjoyed prosperity during the "roaring" 1920s as the economy soared. At the same time, Prohibition, the ban on the sale and manufacture of alcohol as mandated by the Eighteenth Amendment, made millionaires out of bootleggers. After its republishing in 1945 and 1953, it quickly found a wide readership and is today widely regarded as a paragon of the Great American Novel, and a literary classic. The Great Gatsby has become a standard text in high school and university courses on American literature in countries around the world, and is ranked second in the Modern Library's lists of the 100 Best Novels of the 20th Century.

Veľký Gatsby
Veľký Gatsby je najslávnejším románom F. S. Fitzgeralda. Dej príbehu je situovaný do 20. rokov 20. storočia, z obdobia prohibície a tzv. džezového veku v USA. Mladý zbohatlík James Gatz, prezývaný aj Veľký Gatsby, a krásna Daisy Buchananová prenikli do sfér lepšej spoločnosti každý po svojom a podobne sa vyrovnávajú aj s novým životným štýlom. Gatsby rozprávkovo zbohatne na ilegálnom obchode s alkoholom, do novej spoločností však nikdy nezapadne, lebo preňho majú ešte stále najvyššie hodnoty medziľudské vzťahy.

Velký Gatsby
Velký Gatsby vyšel poprvé roku 1925. Za autorova života nebyl příliš populární, dnes však patří k nejznámějším a nejčtenějším dílům moderní americké literatury. Jazzová hudba, stejně jako příběh o vášni a tragické lásce je evidentně nadčasový. Roku 2013 vznikl nový, moderní český překlad. Ve stejné době přišla do kin hvězdná filmová adaptace. Zámožného, výstředního a poněkud záhadného Jaye Gatsbyho ztvárnil Leonardo DiCaprio, svůdnou Daisy Carey Mulliganová.

Velký Gatsby - audiokniha
"Začal jsem počítat výdaje své doby dříve, než na ně byly vystaveny účty," poznamenal Fitzgerald na téma svého zájmu o zpodobení bezstarostného života americké společenské smetánky utrácející jmění na nekonečných večírcích, plných pašovaného prohibičního alkoholu. Dvacátá léta, do nichž vedla cesta přes bojiště první světové války, nastartovala ve Spojených státech období oslnivé konjunktury, které ukončil až krach na newyorské burze v roce 1929.
Na začátku dvacátých let se taky odehrává Fitzgeraldův román Velký Gatsby, který vyšel v roce 1925. Jeho vypravěč, mladý poválečný navrátilec Nick Carraway, přijíždí ze Středozápadu do New Yorku, aby zkusil štěstí jako burzovní makléř. Náhoda ho přivede do podnájmu v sousedství pohádkového sídla tajemného boháče Jaye Gatsbyho, na jehož velkolepé večírky se každý týden sjíždí půlka New Yorku. Aniž zpočátku tuší proč, vzbudí Nick zájem bohatého souseda, a protože má ve zvyku ostatním spíš naslouchat než odporovat, záhy se stane Gatsbyho důvěrníkem. A pak i pomocníkem při pokusu získat zpět milovanou dívku, o kterou ho před pěti lety připravil odchod na frontu. Jenomže ani pohádkové jmění, které Gatsby po návratu z války nashromáždil, nemůže vykoupit minulost a proměnit sen ve skutečnost. Gatsbyho sen o osudové lásce se na konci ukáže jako pouhá chiméra.
Fitzgeraldův Velký Gatsby je příběhem několikanásobného lidského míjení a tragického ztroskotání jedné iluze. Své hrdiny vylíčil autor s kritickým odstupem a zároveň s mimořádnou empatií. Ambivalence jejich charakterů a pocit jakéhosi nevyčerpatelného tajemství, které si nesou, stále znovu přitahují generace čtenářů i tvůrců, kteří o nich chtějí vyprávět.
Dvoudílná dramatizace je prvním rozhlasovým zpracováním románu.
