Uniquereception Ideas

Black Light by Groove Armada

Among other things, a book and I treat myself every now and then the recovery of important classics of American literature that I have not had the pleasure of reading. This time it happened to The Great Gatsby of Francis Scott Fitzgerald . Book which brooded for some time. Courted, at least in my thoughts for some time. What about this novel? Maybe that has betrayed some expectations but it has fully settled by new and unexpected. The author, just thirty years old, wrote this novel (recognized as one of his best) in 1925, although the story is set on a hot summer of 1922 in Long Island, New York . After many years and on some issues, they weighed a lot. The angularity and the emancipation of some female characters, somewhat daring still, then I assume they can at least have seemed extravagant. Or maybe not, since his time who were marking a new way to interpret the figure of the woman, her independence and even of his masculine temperament. Someone told me about jazz (
Fitzgerald wrote several novels set at the time of the Great Jazz), but here, honestly, I do not found even the smallest trace. Between a party and the other on the streets of West Egg , sometimes hard and I could hear a few notes of Charleston, but nothing more. The rest is a bond of friendship, that between the two protagonists
Nick Carraway and Jay Gatsby , and the visceral and only love that he feels towards the beautiful Daisy
, lost years ago and now found .
The Roaring 20's the great America, the dream lived until his last breath, but also poverty of intent are evident all. As transpires needs a bit 'of that society accustomed ephemeral a vivere dietro il paravento di un finto e malcelato perbenismo che di lì a qualche anno avrebbe raddrizzato la schiena a suon di calci a tutti. E Fitzgerald
è molto bravo a farvi sentire al posto giusto nel momento giusto. Se Gatsby dà una festa, voi ci siete in mezzo, ben attenti a non sfiorare alcune delle persone che vi partecipano. Perchè se l'autore vi dice che sono antipatiche e altezzose, a voi staranno antipatiche e le troverete altezzose.

Cosa mi è davvero rimasto di questo romanzo? Soprattutto un'immagine. Quella di Jay Gatsby
nel giardino della sua lussuosa casa, in una calda serata estiva, intento a fissare una luce verde dall'altra part of the bay. The same light that hides the torment and yearning for the love of a life ever made.
Fair? Yes Password? Melancholy.
guess now I could make the effort to search for the movie andarmi with Robert Redford and Mia Farrow based on the novel. Or not. It depends.

Or I could relax with five minutes The Great Gatsby Game, the game based on the novel, adapted for the web from an old NES cartridge for some crazy sadistic programmer.
