More about the novel
The Great Gatsby provides a critical social history of
Prohibition-era America during the Jazz Age. F. Scott
Fitzgerald's fictional narrative fully renders that period—known for its
jazz music,economic prosperity, flapper culture, libertine mores,
rebellious yout3h, and ubiquitous speakeasies. The Great Gatsby is
widely considered to be a literary masterwork and a contender for the
title of the Great American Novel. The novel has been adapted
into film several times, with the most recent directed by Baz Luhrmann
in 2013 starring Leonardo DiCaprio as Jay Gatsby.
