F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, published in 1925, is a defining novel of American literature and a penetrating critique of the American Dream. Narrated by Nick Carraway, a Yale educated bond trader newly arrived on Long Island, the story centers on the mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby and his obsessive love for the luminous Daisy Buchanan. Through lavish parties, green lights, and carefully constructed personas, Fitzgerald dissects the moral emptiness behind the glittering facades of America’s newly minted rich. Themes of class, ambition, nostalgia, romantic idealism, and the corruption of wealth resound through every page. Fitzgerald’s prose is some of the most beautiful in the English language, making this slim novel endlessly rereadable and analytically rich.
