The Great Gatsby is the Great American Novel. It’s a story that embodies the American Spirit and is truly one of the great classics. Set in the Jazz Age on Long Island, the novel tells the story about narrator Nick Carraway’s interactions with self-made millionaire Jay Gatsby. Gatsby orders his life around one desire: to be reunited with Daisy Buchanan, the love he lost five years earlier.
The book was American writer F. Scott Fitzgerald’s 3rd Novel and was first published in 1925.
