The Great American Novel of love and betrayal in the Jazz Age. So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past. Jay Gatsby’s Long Island mansion throngs with the bright young things of the Roaring Twenties.

But Gatsby himself, young, handsome and mysteriously rich, never appears.

He stands apart, yearning for something just out of reach – Daisy Buchanan, lost years before to another man.

One fateful summer, when the pair finally reunite, their actions set in motion events that will unravel their lives, bringing tragedy to all who surround them. Widely considered F. Scott Fitzgerald’s masterpiece, The Great Gatsby is a tale of excess and obsession, and a work of classic twentieth-century American literature.
