The Great Gatsby

The exemplary novel of the Jazz Age, F. Scott Fitzgerald's third book tells the story of the fabulously wealthy Jay Gatsby and his love for the beautiful Daisy Buchanan, of lavish parties on Long Island at a time when gin was the national drink and sex the national obsession. It is an exquisitely crafted tale of America in the 1920s, widely acknowledged to be the closest thing to the Great American Novel ever written.
