Summary/Abstract: The article examines some excerpted stylistic figures and tropes from the novel “The Great Gatsby” by F. S. Fitzgerald. All four different variants in Bulgarian published over the years (translated by N. Dospevska, E. Minchev, St. Yotov and P. Boyanov) are in the focus of the current research. The aim is to present the used means of translation and to offer a different approach in translating the featured examples. Determination of the used means of translation has been made based on the terms introduced by the distinguished names in the Theory of Translation - Vinay and Darbelnet, Nida and Taber, Newmark, Jacobson, Bassnett, Baker, Shuttlerworth and Cowie, Schreiber.
