Given the side of the water edge of the Manhasset Gulf of Long Island, the ambiguity of the houses speaks for themselves. But almost not as well f. Scott Fitzgerald once talked about that ambiguity:
“One wind blew through the room, blowing the curtain at one end and out of the other, like a yellow flag, rotated them to the roof -fried wedding cake.”
The “wedding cake” of a roof, which is now in a house owned by Elena and George Shiatinger, was probably seen back at the Gatsbask parties back in the day. Elena said, “I can almost listen to music and feel the souls of parties going here.”
“The bar is in full swing, and the floating rounds of the cocktail out the garden out, until the wind is not alive with nonsense and laughter and accidental innocent.”

Fitzgerald lived in a very modest house, when he was writing “The Great Gatsbi”. However, scholars believe that the author must have visited here. They imagine her, while a bootlag cottage his head back, and paying attention to the cocktail, and then writes his roof in his novel. “I fully believe that this is true,” George said.
Fijarld’s novel came a hundred years ago this month. Scholars consider it a literary work. Hollywood finds it unmistakable, and so broadways. There is even a recent graphic novel of “Gatsbi” that brings the characters of Fijarld, which begins with James Gatz, who believed that he was very poor to marry his dreams of his dreams – and so he re -fills herself. It is less about love, and more about craving – in particular, across the Gulf for Daisy Buyan.
They were so close, and still the world was different.
Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald’s Parapoti Black Hazard said, “I didn’t feel that on both sides of the Gulf, that they were so close to each other.” “I mean, you can see in the windows almost on the other side.”
She says that her famous relatives are growing up with love on this century. “I have seen such things about my family, with other people about my great -grandfather, to share it, and I think it seems right,” said Hazard.

“There is a point that we are in the middle of the manhasset bay, and you can look at the left to the left to the left and the east eggs on the left, and – it click,” he said, “he said,” because they can portray that green light on that dock. “
Some of those mansions remain – mostly the great depression could not escape, tore to make a place for the new.

But back in Manhattan, some Gatsbi Vidya remains, especially on the Plaza Hotel and its roaming doors. “There are stories that Zelda will come here and will just go all around and around,” Hazard said.
It was a temple for the time where important people did important work, including Hazard’s great -grandfather. “Both of them really wanted to live in the world, in the world, writing about what they saw, doing all this chronicing … and after a great time to do it,” she said.
Fijralds themselves were not rich. While he enjoyed the money, he was also surprised by its crisis.
“They were careless people, Tom and Daisy. They broke things and creatures and then put them together with their money, or their huge negligence, or whatever they were.”
Hazard said, “He was ready for these things, but also had a lot of supervisor of them; he definitely felt outside the rich set.”
Fitzgerald rubbed the elbow with a rich set at Princeton University. Although he later got out, his papers found their way back, including the only living handwritten manuscript of “Gatsbi”, which was shown by Librarian Emma Sarconi, a rare book librarian in Princeton in the Firesten Library.
“We have half the page here. The whole book is like this,” he said.

At that time, Fitzgerald was coming from two big hits: “This is the side of heaven” and “the beautiful and damaged.” He believed that “Gatsbi” would cross both. But “Gatsbi” landed with a thud, selling less than 20,000 copies. And according to Sarconi, mixed reviews destroyed him: “He wrote a letter to his daughter, Scoty, in his last years, mourning the fact that any of his friends would know who he is,” he said.
So, what changed? Time, perhaps. During World War II, the newly formed council on books in the war sent millions of pocket-shaped books, entertaining the soldiers abroad, including 155,000 copies of “The Great Gatsbi”. Sarkoni said, “We will not talk about this book today if this version did not come out,” Sarconi said.

At the age of 44, Fitzgerald died. At that time he thought that he was a failure. “He really fell into ambiguity,” said Sarconi. “Famous, very few people attended his funeral.”
And yet today, “Gatsbi” rubs the dust jacket with the choice of Jane Austain, John Steinback and Ernest Hemingway. For many people, “The Great Gatsby” is a truly great American novel.
“It seems foolish, but I want Scott that be here, I think he would be so thrilled,” Hazard said, “and surprised. Surely surprised!”
Blake has a necklace given by Scott to Zelda by Scott, as well as a ring. Is it a coincidence that the stone is green? we will never know.
Nevertheless, the green light that is haunted still takes a nap for all of us; Dreams, perfection, whatever separates us – we keep trying.
“So we green, boats against the present, back to the past, back.”
