The Great Gatsby, written by F. Scott Fitzgerald and published in 1925, is a classic American novel set during the Jazz Age. Narrated by Nick Carraway, the story follows the mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby, who throws extravagant parties in hopes of rekindling his romance with Daisy Buchanan, a beautiful woman married to the wealthy but arrogant Tom Buchanan. Through themes of love, wealth, obsession, and disillusionment, the novel vividly portrays the moral decay hidden beneath the glittering surface of the Roaring Twenties. Ultimately a tragic critique of the American Dream, it remains one of the greatest works of American literature.
