When Nick Carraway moves to West Egg, Long Island, he has no idea that
the lavishly outfitted mansion next to his modest house is home to Jay
Gatsby. Eventually, Nick becomes aware of Gatsby's intense interest in
his cousin Daisy Buchanan, and when Daisy's brutish husband, Tom, probes
into Gatsby's background, he uncovers unsavory truths about his rival's
wealth. First published in 1925, F. Scott Fitzgerald's third novel
offers a definitive portrait of the opulence and recklessness of the
Jazz Age.
