Nous sommes au lendemain de la Grande Guerre. Le mal du siècle envahit les âmes. C'est l'époque de la Prohibition et des fortunes rapides. En 1922, Jay Gatz, devenu Gatsby, se retrouve fabuleusement riche. Personnage mystérieux, installé à Long Island dans une somptueuse propriété il est l'objet de mille légendes. A-t-il été étudiant à Oxford ? Est-ce un mafieux ? Elles n'empêchent pas les gens chics et moins chics, de venir en troupe boire ses cocktails et danser sur ses pelouses. Gatsby cherche à séduire Daisy, la fiancée de Tom Buchanan, un millionnaire qui, contrairement à lui, a hérité sa fortune. Il cherche à l'éblouir, fait des dépenses folles. Mais c'est argent contre argent, vieille fortune contre parvenu? L'ouvrage, publié aux Etats-Unis en 1925, est précédé d'une préface de Fitzgerald à une réédition de 1934, et suivi des trois préfaces mythiques à l'édition Grasset de 1962, par Antoine Blondin, Bernard Frank et Jean François Revel. Cette nouvelle traduction de Jacques Tournier a été établie à partir des manuscrits, des corrections d'épreuves et des dernières révisions de Scott Fitzgerald.

Work Description

Here is a novel, glamorous, ironical, compassionate – a marvelous fusion into unity of the curious incongruities of the life of the period – which reveals a hero like no other – one who could live at no other time and in no other place. But he will live as a character, we surmise, as long as the memory of any reader lasts.

"There was something gorgeous about him, some heightened sensitivity to the promises of life.... It was an extraordinary gift for hope, a romantic readiness such as I have never found in any other person and which it is not likely I shall ever find again."

It is the story of this Jay Gatsby who came so mysteriously to West Egg, of his sumptuous entertainments, and of his love for Daisy Buchanan – a story that ranges from pure lyrical beauty to sheer brutal realism, and is infused with a sense of the strangeness of human circumstance in a heedless universe.

It is a magical, living book, blended of irony, romance, and mysticism.
