The Great Gatsby
de Francis Scott Fitzgerald
Penguin books, 1950, 171 p. : couv. ill. en coul. ; 18 cm.
Everybody who anybody is seen at the glittering parties held in gatsby's mansion in west egg, east of New York. The riotous throng congregates in his sumptuous garden, cooly debating gatsby's origins and mysterious past. None of the frivolous socialites understand him and among various rumours is the conviction that 'he killed a man'. A detached onlooker, Gatsby is oblivious to the speculation he craates, but seems always to be watching and waiting, though no one knows what for.
