The Great Gatsby

Description

The epic annals a time that Fitzgerald himself named the “Jazz Age”. Following the stun and bedlam of World War I, American culture appreciated remarkable degrees of success during the “thundering” 1920s as the economy took off. Simultaneously, Prohibition, the restriction on the deal and production of liquor as ordered by the Eighteenth Amendment, made moguls out of peddlers and prompted an expansion in composed wrongdoing, for instance the Jewish mafia. Despite the fact that Fitzgerald, similar to Nick Carraway in his novel, adored the wealth and charm of the age, he was awkward with the over the top realism and the absence of ethical quality that went with it, a sort of wantonness.
