Live The American Dream With Jay Gatsby In The Great Gatsby By F.Scott Fitzgreald

AHMEDABAD, India - May 4, 2013 - PRLog -- Ahmedabad, India; May 04, 2013: The Great Gatsby is much in talk these days as the novel has been again adapted into a Hollywood movie starring super stars like Leonardo Di Caprio, Tobey Maguire etc. The major reason for the movie being in buzz in India is because it also stars Amitabh Bachchan in it who plays a minuscule role of Meyer Wolfsheim.

The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald is undoubtedly an American classic novel and has rightly won the status of being the second best English Language novel of the 20th Century. Ever since its first publication the book has created a great buzz around the world. It shares the legacy of being an inspiration for making a movie on it for 5 times, several TV Series, Opera, Radio programs, Musical theatre, and also the latest being computer games.

The story primarily concerns itself with the affluent life style of Gatsby in U.S.A during the 'roaring twenties, the period which was named by Fitzgerald as 'the Jazz Age'. Jay Gatsby is a handsome young millionaire from North Dakota who is madly in love with Daisy Buchanan. Jay and Daisy had met during the World War-I, when he was stationed as a young officer in the south. After the war, he turns to shady business of bootlegging for getting rich and thereby trying to win over Daisy's heart again.

Daisy is an attractive woman but after the World War she marries another millionaire, Tom Buchanan. Jay and Daisy were involved in a romantic relationship before her marriage. When Jay comes back into her life as a millionaire she experiences a great conflict in choosing between her husband and Jay. What follow then is the prolonged ultra rich parties, great music and twist and turns that bring about the tragic end of Gatsby's life.

The book is surely a catch to read with its stimulating intellectual conversations, poetic prose, rich symbolism, and more so it expresses 'The American Dream'. While there is still time for the movie to hit the theatres, it is ideal time for grabbing your own copy and reading it. The book is available on infibeam.com, one of the best destinations for buying books online.
