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 revelations 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.

F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940) wrote short stories and novels that are synonymous with the post-World War I Jazz Age and the Roaring Twenties, among them The Great Gatsby, This Side of Paradise, The Beautiful and Damned, and Tender is the Night.
