Memory Game for Seniors - The Great Gatsby

Relive the Great Gatsby Era in the 1920s

Starting at $5.99 – $24.99

Let RetroSparX spark your memory with The Great Gatsby – A Social Commentary that Transcends its Era. Whether you read The Great Gatsby in English class or curled up in a chair at home (or whether you waited for one of the four film adaptations!), you were undoubtedly transported to a world of decadent parties and shattered dreams. The society depicted by F. Scott Fitzgerald was both dazzling and despairing, and its characters fell victim to the corruption and excess that were its hallmarks. The Great Gatsby is a masterpiece of American literature; it is a cautionary tale that is as relevant today as it was in the Roaring Twenties.
