[Penguin Readers Level 5]The book centres on the character of Mr. Harding, a clergyman of great personal integrity, whose charitable income far exceeds the purpose for which it was intended. Young John Bold turns his reforming zeal to exposing what he considers to be an abuse of privilege, despite being in love with Mr. Harding's daughter Eleanor. The novel was highly topical as a case regarding the misapplication of church funds was the scandalous subject of contemporary debate. But Trollope uses this specific case to explore and illuminate the universal complexities of human motivation and social morality.

Nous sommes au lendemain de la Grande Guerre, le mal du siècle envahit les âmes, c'est l'époque de la Prohibition et des fortunes rapides. En 1922, Jay Gatz, désormais Gatsby, se retrouve fabuleusement riche. Personnage mystérieux installé à Long Island dans une somptueuse propriété, mille légendes courent sur son compte. Elles n'empêchent pas les gens chic, et moins chic, de venir en troupes boire ses cocktails et danser sur ses pelouses. Gatsby le Magnifique joue la carte de l'éblouissement et des folles dépenses comme un appât pour ramener à lui Daisy, mariée à Tom Buchaman, un millionnaire qui, à la différence de Gatsby, n'a pas gagné sa fortune, mais en a hérité. Le jour où l'espoir de reconquérir sa bien-aimée s'évanouit, la fête prend fin et Gatsby meurt, abandonné de tous, sauf de son voisin, Nick Carraway, le cousin de Daisy, qui nous révèle cette histoire. Gatsby le Magnifique est un des romans emblématiques du XIXe siècle.
