He was the star and spokesman for the decade he called the 'Jazz Age', the 1920's, the 'greatest and gaudiest spree in history' which saw a whole race going hedonistic, deciding on pleasure.' It all crashed and with it came a severe poisoning of 'The American Dream.' His name is F. Scott Fitzgerald and he transformed the rites and passages of his era into a hauntingly powerful literary career. The most powerful expression of Fitzgerald's mood and feelings about the times he lived through is found in his masterpiece 'The Great Gatsby'. This book is a look at what he so masterfully exposed and it's aim is to apply the ageless Scriptures to the emptiness of hedonism and show how we can be led to make the right choices, to travel on the right road and to know a sure and steadfast hope in the mist of a Western civilization that is often selling it's very soul for the transient.
