Description
Set against the glittering backdrop of 1920s Long Island, The Great Gatsby is the quintessential American novel. It is a story of obsession, decadence, and the elusive nature of the American Dream. Through the eyes of Nick Carraway, a young man from the Midwest, we are introduced to the enigmatic Jay Gatsby—a self-made millionaire who throws legendary parties in the hopes of recapturing a lost love, the socialite Daisy Buchanan.
Fitzgerald’s masterpiece is a hauntingly beautiful exploration of the "Jazz Age," capturing both its frantic energy and its underlying hollow despair. With prose that reads like poetry, the novel delves into the rigid boundaries of social class, the power of memory, and the tragic consequences of living in the past. A staple of 20th-century literature, The Great Gatsby remains as relevant today as it was a century ago, serving as a cautionary tale about the cost of reinvention.
