The Great Gatsby
The Great Gatsby is a book that everyone agrees is the best American novel. You likely had to wade through it in high school. We've brought you some interesting facts about the author and book you probably didn't know.
Part of the Great Gatsby was Based on a French Book
Fitzgerald almost chose one of the Trimalchio titles, but someone told him that the reference was too hard to understand.
The first person to be called Trimalchio was a character in a work of fiction from the 1st century called Satyricon. Other famous people also liked the story.
For example, Trimalchio is mentioned in Les Miserables, Pompeii, and works by H.P. Lovecraft, Henry Miller, and Octavio Paz.
That book was called Le Grand Meaulnes, written by Alain-Fournier in 1913. Since then, it has been transcribed into English as The Wanderer and The Lost Estate. Francis Cugat made the cover of The Great Gatsby, a very well-known book.
Cugat went on to work as a designer for Douglas Fairbanks, an actor, director, and producer. Fitzgerald liked Cugat's art so much that he changed parts of the book to include it better.
