The Great Gatsby provides an insider s look into the Jazz Age of the 1920s in United States history while at the same time critiquing the idea of the American Dream. Perhaps the most-famous aspect of the novel is its cover art a piercing face projected onto a dark blue night sky and lights from a cityscape an image that is also found, in a slightly different configuration, within the text itself as a key symbol.
The late Colombian author Gabriel García Márquez published his most-famous work, One Hundred Years of Solitudein 1967. The novel tells the story of seven generations of the Buendía family and follows the establishment of their town Macondo until its destruction along with the last of the family s descendents.
In fantastical form, the novel explores the genre of magic realism by emphasizing the extraordinary nature of commonplace things while mystical things are shown to be common.
