Hopefully I'll be featuring this book again, because it's queued up for my list of readings for 2025 (of course, so it Saint Augustine's The City of God, so who knows if I'll get to all the works on my list). This is a gift from my truly wonderful wife. We've acquired a small collection of works in Portuguese, which are supposed to empower by work on Portuguese (which I've woefully punked on lately). Obviously, you don't have to be fluent in Portuguese to figure out that this is a translation of The Great Gatsby. Over the years I've read Gatsby a couple times, at least, and I've never completely warmed to it (as all right-thinking individuals can attest, Sherwood Anderson's Winesburg, Ohio is the greatest American novel) but maybe I wasn't in the place to appreciate it at those moments in time. Anyway, I'm definitely looking forward to a reread (or initial Portuguese reading).
