    F. 스콧 피츠제럴드의 "위대한 개츠비(The Great Gatsby)"는 미국 문학에서 빛나는 보석으로 우뚝 서 있으며, 광란의 20년대의 퇴폐와 환멸을 비교할 수 없는 우아함으로 포착합니다. 뉴욕 롱아일랜드의 빛나는 배경을 배경으로 피츠제럴드의 소설은 짝사랑, 산산이 부서진 꿈, 그리고 이루기 힘든 아메리칸 드림을 추구하는 이야기를 엮어냅니다.이 이야기는 중서부 출신의 청년 닉 캐러웨이가 자신의 신비롭고 불가사의한 이웃인 제이 개츠비의 호화로운 세계에 이끌리게 되면서 진행됩니다. 호화로운 파티를 좋아하고 의심스러운 과거를 지닌 자수성가한 백만장자 개츠비는 아메리칸 드림의 매력과 공허함을 모두 구현하는 보기 힘든 인물이 됩니다.이야기의 중심에는 닉의 사촌이자 부와 아름다움, 도달할 수 없는 세련미의 구체화인 데이지 뷰캐넌에 대한 개츠비의 열광이 있습니다. 이제 부유하지만 거만한 톰 뷰캐넌과 결혼한 데이지에 대한 개츠비의 끊임없는 추구는 사랑, 사회적 계층화, 물질적 성공에 종종 수반되는 공허함에 대한 신랄한 탐구가 됩니다.피츠제럴드의 산문은 우아함과 퇴폐의 교향곡입니다. 그는 과잉과 화려함이 근본적인 도덕적 부패를 가리고 있는 재즈 시대의 초상화를 그립니다. 데이지의 부두 끝에 있는 초록불부터 T.J. 박사의 눈까지, 소설의 상징적 상징성. 재의 계곡 위로 어렴풋이 보이는 Eckleburg는 내러티브에 깊이를 더해 독자들이 표면 아래에 있는 심오한 주제를 풀도록 유도합니다.이야기가 전개되면서 소설은 아메리칸 드림의 공허함과 부가 인간 영혼을 부식시키는 영향에 대한 비극적인 논평이 됩니다. 비극적인 개츠비부터 환멸에 빠진 닉까지 등장인물들은 번영에 취했지만 성취감에 사로잡힌 시대의 사회적 붕괴를 반영합니다."위대한 개츠비"는 시대적 배경을 초월하여 독자들에게 인간 본성의 복잡성, 꿈의 취약성, 냉혹한 시간의 흐름에 대한 시대를 초월한 탐구를 제공합니다. 피츠제럴드의 서사적 탁월함은 소설의 연상적인 이미지와 깊은 공감을 불러일으키는 주제와 결합되어 이 소설이 비극적인 아름다움으로 계속해서 독자들을 사로잡고 괴롭게 하는 미국 고전 문학으로서의 지속적인 지위를 보장합니다.

    Introduction by the AuthorWhen my children were little I told them bedtime stories most every night. One evening I created a new story about a little girl and boy named Hatty and Barty. Both of my children loved these new fictional characters so much that from that night forward they would only let me tell stories about them. I told these Hatty and Barty stories for several years. It was quite a stretch to my creativity to keep coming up with new ideas and story subject matter but somehow I always managed to do so and I always enjoyed telling them.Sometimes when I was tired, I would get to the crucial point in the story and then tell my children "to be continued". Their response would be "No Dad! Finish the story!" Usually I wouldn't relent and then the next night sometimes I would forget the story I had started the night before and this would create greater consternation. You the reader, have one benefit that my children did not always have; and that is all of the bedtime stories in these Hatty and Barty books, created many years ago, have an ending even though some still include the infamous "to be continued" phrase in them.I hope that you and your children will enjoy these stories as much as my children did listening to them when they were growing up.Grant Boyer

    एफ. स्कॉट फिट्जगेराल्ड द्वारा लिखित "द ग्रेट गैट्सबी" अमेरिकी साहित्य में एक चमकदार रत्न के रूप में खड़ा है, जो एक बेजोड़ लालित्य के साथ रोअरिंग ट्वेंटीज़ के पतन और मोहभंग को दर्शाता है। लॉन्ग आइलैंड, न्यूयॉर्क की चमकदार पृष्ठभूमि पर आधारित, फिट्जगेराल्ड का उपन्यास एकतरफा प्यार, टूटे सपनों और मायावी अमेरिकी सपने की खोज की कहानी बुनता है।यह कहानी मिडवेस्ट के एक युवक निक कैरवे द्वारा सुनाई गई है, जो खुद को अपने रहस्यमय और गूढ़ पड़ोसी, जे गैट्सबी की भव्य दुनिया में आकर्षित पाता है। गैट्सबी, एक स्व-निर्मित करोड़पति, जो भव्य पार्टियों और एक संदिग्ध अतीत का शौक रखता है, एक मायावी व्यक्ति बन जाता है, जो अमेरिकी सपने के आकर्षण और खोखलेपन दोनों को दर्शाता है।कथा के केंद्र में गैट्सबी का डेज़ी बुकानन, निक की चचेरी बहन और धन, सौंदर्य और अप्राप्य परिष्कार का अवतार के प्रति आकर्षण है। गैट्सबी की डेज़ी की लगातार खोज, जो अब अमीर लेकिन घमंडी टॉम बुकानन से विवाहित है, प्यार, सामाजिक स्तरीकरण और उस खालीपन की एक मार्मिक खोज बन जाती है जो अक्सर भौतिक सफलता के साथ होती है।फिट्जगेराल्ड का गद्य लालित्य और पतन की एक सिम्फनी है, क्योंकि वह जैज़ युग का एक चित्र चित्रित करता है, जहां अतिरिक्त और ग्लैमर अंतर्निहित नैतिक पतन को छुपाता है। उपन्यास का प्रतिष्ठित प्रतीकवाद, डेज़ी की गोदी के अंत में हरी रोशनी से लेकर डॉ. टी.जे. की आँखों तक। राख की घाटी पर मंडराता एक्लेबर्ग, कथा में गहराई की परतें जोड़ता है, पाठकों को सतह के नीचे के गहन विषयों को जानने के लिए आमंत्रित करता है।

    This action-packed epic fantasy follows Erold Ardrada, the exiled heir to the throne of an ice age world's largest empire as he forms a necessary alliance with the few nations that do not bow to the senate that commands the empire from the city of gold, Akre. After it seems the senate betrayed every other member of his family, the would-be king, Erold, could be the last hope to stop the senate's hunger for world domination. While he attempts to resurrect a lost nation with the help of a former enemy threatened by the growing power of the empire's armies, the sinister ulterior motive of the hidden hands behind his family's betrayal has already been put into action across borders, and a secret, final gift of Erold's father puts him squarely in their sights as he unknowingly joins a centuries old conflict between good and evil. Based off of the embellished magical histories of mostly forgotten earth kings, queens, and revolutionaries, relive the romanticized tales of the men and women who lead the ice age planet of Frost, a frozen mirror of earth, into the heart of the steam age. From each town, to each person, for each nation, all must decide what fates lie ahead as the battlefields of fantasy and frost will never be the same. For in this ice age world of fantasy where all myths are true and over ninety nations co-exist in false harmony, wars by light and shadow come for those who pursue peace, surrounded by the mythical creatures of land and sea, including dragons, demons, angels, elves, dwarves, werewolves, vampires, and more.
