The Great Gatsby

“So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.”
Set in the glittering Jazz Age, The Great Gatsby tells the story of Jay Gatsby, a self-made millionaire consumed by his love for Daisy Buchanan and by the illusion of recreating the past. Through the eyes of Nick Carraway, Fitzgerald captures the dazzling excess and the moral emptiness of the American Dream. A portrait of longing, illusion, and the price of desire.
