The Great Gatsby

A glittering portrait of the Jazz Age—and the price of the American Dream.

First published in 1925, The Great Gatsby follows Nick Carraway to Long Island’s West Egg, where the mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby throws dazzling parties in the hope of reclaiming his lost love, Daisy Buchanan. Beneath the champagne and chandeliers lies a world of longing, betrayal, and self-invention—where one green light on the water can mean everything.

F. Scott Fitzgerald’s masterpiece is a swift, lyrical novel about wealth and desire, illusion and truth, and the fragile promises of reinvention. As Nick watches Gatsby’s dream collide with reality, The Great Gatsby becomes both a love story and a haunting indictment of a society chasing glitter instead of gold.

Why readers love The Great Gatsby:

• Unforgettable characters: Gatsby, Daisy, Tom, Jordan, and Nick
• Iconic symbols and scenes—the green light, the eyes of Dr. T. J. Eckleburg, the roaring parties

A landmark of American literature, The Great Gatsby offers a spellbinding mix of beauty and brutality—an unforgettable read from first page to last.
