Více o produktu ↓

Zjednodušená anglická četba pro teenagery a mladší dospělé studenty. Součástí knihy je poslechové CD, informace o autorovi, doplňkové aktivity, vysvětlení obtížných slov a na konci knihy test. - mladý poručík Gatsby, kterého Daisy potkala před pěti lety, se nastěhuje kousek od Daisyna domu. Daisy je však vdaná, ale stará láska... Scott Fitzgerald’s third novel was published in 1925 and has justifiably become a 20th century
literary classic.

“Gatsby?” asked Daisy urgently. “What Gatsby?” Could it be the same young army lieutenant whom Daisy Fay met five years ago – and who owns a sumptuous house on Long Island, where New York society enjoys the best parties on offer? Is it just coincidence that Gatsby lives across the bay from Daisy – now married to wealthy polo-player Tom Buchanan? Midwesterner Nick Carraway is drawn into the dark world of Gatsby’s past and present – a world of hidden frustrations and superficial relationships which perfectly illustrates the “careless and confused” nature of America’s Jazz Age.
