The Great Gatsby

A masterpiece of 20th-century American literature that explores themes of wealth, love, and the American Dream. Set in the Jazz Age of the 1920s, the novel follows the mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby as he pursues the elusive Daisy Buchanan, whom he believes can restore his past. Through the eyes of narrator Nick Carraway, Fitzgerald paints a vivid portrait of excess, disillusionment, and the pursuit of happiness in a society driven by materialism. Known for its rich symbolism and lyrical prose, The Great Gatsby remains a poignant critique of the American Dream and a tale of yearning, ambition, and tragedy.
