Description

The Great Gatsby (1925), F. Scott Fitzgerald’s masterpiece, stands among the greatest of all American fiction.
Jay Gatsby’s lavish lifestyle in a mansion on Long Island’s gold coast encapsulates the spirit, excitement, and violence of the era Fitzgerald named `the Jazz Age’.
Impelled by his love for Daisy Buchanan, Gatsby seeks nothing less than to recapture the moment five years earlier when his best and brightest dreams – his `unutterable visions’ – seemed to be incarnated in her kiss.
A moving portrayal of the power of romantic imagination, as well as the pathos and courage entailed in the pursuit of an unattainable dream, The Great Gatsby is a classic fiction of hope and disillusion.
