The Great Gatsby

'The Great Gatsby' is F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic novel of ambition, longing, and illusion in Jazz Age America. Set during the summer of 1922 on Long Island and in New York City, the story follows the enigmatic Jay Gatsby, whose immense wealth and extravagant parties conceal an unwavering devotion to Daisy Buchanan. Narrated by Nick Carraway, Gatsby’s neighbour and reluctant observer, the novel unfolds as a precise and lyrical examination of class, desire, and the fragile promise of the American Dream. A masterpiece of style and compression, 'The Great Gatsby' remains one of the defining works of modern American literature—at once romantic and unsparing, glittering and tragic.
