Features: F. Scott Fitzgerald is a renowned novelist of the 20th-century American literary scene, celebrated alongside Hemingway and Faulkner. His novels profoundly reveal the characteristics of the 1920s in America, embodying the theme of the disillusionment of the "American Dream," and thus earning him the titles of "Poet Laureate" and "Chronicles" of the "Jazz Age." The Great Gatsby is his most famous and outstanding work, as well as one of the finest in American modern literature. The renowned American literary critic T.S. Eliot highly praised The Great Gatsby, calling it "the most significant step American fiction has taken since Henry James." In 1998, the American publisher Random House selected the "100 Best English Novels of the 20th Century," where The Great Gatsby ranked second, far ahead of other American novels.
