The Great Gatsby

"His dream must have seemed so close that he could hardly fail to grasp it. He did not know that it was already behind him."

Jay Gatsby is mysterious, wealthy, and throws the most lavish parties at his mansion on Long Island. Among all the bright young things in Gatsby's circle, the brightest is Daisy Buchanan the girl he fell in love with before the war. Having lost her to marriage with the brutish Tom, Gatsby's relentless pursuit of his perfect woman spirals out of control, setting off a chain of events that leads to tragedy.

Told from the perspective of Nick Carraway, Gatsby's neighbour and a cousin of Daisy's, The Great Gatsby perfectly captures the decadence, excess, and cynicism of the Roaring Twenties. Initially published to mixed reviews, F. Scott Fitzgerald's greatest novel made a comeback in the 1940s to become an American literary classic.
