Inhaltsangabe

Gertrude Stein defined the 1920’s generation a “lost generation”, made of disillusioned, without hope, values, aims, extremely proved by the I World War, physically, economically and ethically. That generation was dominated by a Dionysiac spirit, by ecstasy and exuberance, emotion, chaos, disorder. Modernism, to which both The Great Gatsby and The Sun Also Rises belong, has been defined as a Dionysiac age, a stage in which a situation of chaos and disorder of values, after the Big War, was individualised.
