Book Synopsis
In the glittering excess of 1920s Long Island, narrator Nick Carraway becomes entangled in the lavish world of his mysterious neighbor, Jay Gatsby—a self-made millionaire obsessed with reclaiming a lost love. Amid opulent parties, whispered scandals, and the green light across the bay, Fitzgerald’s iconic novel dissects the American Dream’s hollow core, exploring themes of wealth, illusion, and unfulfilled longing. Published in 1925, The Great Gatsby captures the Roaring Twenties’ feverish spirit while delivering a timeless critique of aspiration and disillusionment.
With its lyrical prose and unforgettable characters, it’s a shimmering portrait of an era—and a cautionary tale for all time.
