The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald

Set in the roaring 1920s, this novel follows the enigmatic millionaire Jay Gatsby and his obsessive pursuit of the beautiful Daisy Buchanan. Narrated by the reflective Nick Carraway, the story unfolds in a world of extravagant parties, shimmering illusions, and quiet desperation. As Gatsby’s mysterious past comes to light, so too does the hollowness of the American Dream. F. Scott Fitzgerald’s masterpiece is a lyrical and haunting tale of love, ambition, and the price of idealism. It remains a poignant reflection on wealth, identity, and longing.
