Publisher Description
The Great Gatsby is F. Scott Fitzgerald’s enduring novel of the Jazz Age—an era of glamour, excess, and illusion. Set in the summer of 1922 on Long Island, the story follows the enigmatic millionaire Jay Gatsby and his obsessive pursuit of Daisy Buchanan, a former lover lost to time, wealth, and social ambition.
Narrated by the introspective Nick Carraway, the novel explores themes of wealth, identity, idealism, and the disintegration of the American Dream. Through Gatsby’s tragic rise and fall, Fitzgerald crafts a haunting critique of a society driven by materialism and moral decay.
A cornerstone of American literature, The Great Gatsby is celebrated for its lyrical prose, poignant symbolism, and timeless relevance—a powerful portrait of longing, illusion, and the costs of dreaming too deeply.
