"Leaves the reader in a mood of chastened wonder . . . A revelation of
life . . . A work of art." --Los Angeles Times
Set in during the Roaring Twenties, this masterful story by F. Scott
Fitzgerald is told through the eyes of Nick Carraway, a young man who
moves to Long Island and attempts to learn the bond business in New York
City after the war. There, he co-mingles on Long Island with his
affluent and wealthy socialite cousin Daisy Buchanan, her brute of a
husband Tom, and friend Jordan Baker.
Nick's new residence sits across the bay from Daisy and Tom's house, and
right next to a mysterious mansion. He begins to hear rumors of an
infamous man named Gatsby who resides there. Eventually, when Gatsby
learns of Nick's ties to Daisy, he extends Nick an invitation to one of
his lavish parties. Gatsby's plan to court Daisy, in an attempt to
revive a previous love affair, eventually bubbles to the surface and
tragedy ensues.
Dubbed the Great American Novel more than any other piece of literature
to date, The Great Gatsby is sure to captivate readers with it's
exquisitely crafted prose and poignant message about trying to relive
the past.
