'I believe that on the first night I went to Gatsby's house I was one
of the few guests who had actually been invited. People were not
invited - they went there'
Jay Gatsby's Long Island mansion throngs with the bright young things of
the Roaring Twenties. But Gatsby himself, young, handsome and
mysteriously rich, never appears. He stands apart, yearning for
something just out of reach - Daisy Buchanan, lost years before to
another man. One fateful summer, when the pair finally reunite, their
actions set in motion events that will unravel their lives, bringing
tragedy to all who surround them.
Widely considered F. Scott Fitzgerald's masterpiece, The Great Gatsby is
a tale of excess and obsession, and a work of classic twentieth-century
American literature.
