In the shimmering heat of the Long Island summer, the mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby throws the most extravagant parties in New York. The music is loud, the champagne flows freely, and the guests are the elite of the Jazz Age. Yet, amid the glittering crowd, Gatsby stands alone, driven by a singular, consuming obsession: to recapture the love of the beautiful Daisy Buchanan.Seen through the eyes of the observant Nick Carraway, Gatsby's quest for the American Dream unfolds as a haunting tale of wealth, class, and unrequited longing. But beneath the facade of opulence lies a world of moral decay and tragic illusions, where the past is a ghost that can never truly be outrun.F. Scott Fitzgerald's masterpiece is a lyrical, devastating portrait of an era. It is the definitive American novel-a story of impossible dreams and the heartbreaking cost of chasing them.Step into the world of West Egg and witness the brilliance and the tragedy of a golden age. Francis Scott Fitzgerald remains the definitive chronicler of the Jazz Age-a term he himself popularized. Born in St. Paul, Minnesota, and educated at Princeton, Fitzgerald's life and work were inextricably linked to the glittering, restless energy of the 1920s. He became a literary sensation at the age of twenty-three with his debut, This Side of Paradise, capturing the spirit of a generation that had grown up to find "all Gods dead, all wars fought, all faiths in man shaken."Fitzgerald's prose is celebrated for its lyrical beauty, emotional depth, and haunting nostalgia. His masterpiece, The Great Gatsby (1925), is often cited as the ultimate American novel, offering a profound critique of the American Dream through themes of wealth, class, and the elusive nature of the past.
