Gran Gatsby, El (Manga)

The Great Gatsby is probably the most representative work in American literature. This manga version brings a new perspective, focusing on the protagonist's frustrated love story. Nick has just moved to an upscale residential district where, unexpectedly, his mysterious neighbor Jay Gatsby throws extravagant night parties in his mansion without any of his guests knowing exactly the identity or story of the host, which presses Nick's interest. One day, Nick is invited to know and understand Gatsby's desires and great ambition. The psychologically insightful vision and precise syntax with which Nick examines the creatures he encounters constitutes an immigrated x-ray of the interiorities of the new rich in the United States during the so-called roaring twenties. In this manga version, the dramatic journey that surrounds Jay Gatsby, with his frustrated love for Daisy, occupies the center of the stage.
