The story of Jay Gatsby about love, lies and the dream of great appearances unfolds in the middle of the bubbling New York of the "Roaring Twenties". In an artificial paradise of ecstatic parties, illusion can hardly be distinguished from reality. When the boundaries for Gatsby and his childhood sweetheart Daisy finally blur on a fateful night, it is not only his house of cards of illusions that begins to crumble. For the omnipresent jazz music here is dancing on a very thin parquet of social upheaval. The dazzling swan song of rapid boom and the desire for free fall show clear parallels to today. The novel, an American classic, is material made for our times - it strikes at the heart and resonates.
