Features: F. Scott Fitzgerald is one of the most renowned novelists of the 20th-century American literary scene, alongside Hemingway and Faulkner. His novels profoundly reveal the characteristics of the 1920s in America and depict the theme of the disillusionment of the "American Dream," earning him the titles of the "Poet Laureate" and "Chronicles" of the "Jazz Age." The Great Gatsby is his most famous and best work, as well as one of the best works in American modern literature. The renowned American literary critic T.S. Eliot highly praised The Great Gatsby, calling it "the giant step American fiction has taken since Henry James." In 1998, 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.
