The Great Gatsby

Welcome to 1920s New York — an era of endless parties, luxurious cars, and fatal illusions. Nick Carraway witnesses the rise and fall of the enigmatic Jay Gatsby, a man who builds an empire for one purpose alone: to capture the attention of a woman from his past.
Fitzgerald creates a perfect portrait of a generation in which loneliness and spiritual emptiness lie hidden behind the facades of grand estates. This is a novel about how far a person can go in pursuit of the hopeful “green light,” and what happens when reality proves stronger than even the most magnificent dream.
