Description: A dazzling portrain of the Jazz Age, The Great Gatsby captures the decadence of the Roaring '20s with an elegance of style and tone that makes it one of the finest works of American literature. In Jay Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald has crafted a stunning embodiment of romantic longing and a character whose enduring significance is a testament to the author's unquestioned mastery.

Self-invented millionaire Jay Gatsby pines for the one thing his money cannot buy: Daisy Buchanan, wife to the wealthy, but carelessly destructive, Tom. Bearing witness to Gatsby's doomed infatuation is Nick Carraway, a cynical neighbor who filters in and out of the social scene that defines the lives of those living around Long Island Sound.

In this venerable classic, the enevitable unraveling of Gatsby's obsessions resonates with timeless themes of greed and empty ambition.
