The Great Gatsby

A shimmering mansion, a forgotten love, and a dream glittering just out of reach — The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald pulls readers into a world where beauty hides deception and every party masks a deeper ache. When Nick Carraway moves to Long Island’s West Egg, he finds himself drawn into the orbit of his enigmatic neighbor, Jay Gatsby — a man whose wealth is dazzling, but whose heart remains fixed on a single, impossible longing.

Almost immediately, Nick senses the tension beneath the champagne sparkle: whispered scandals, risky secrets, and a mysterious past Gatsby refuses to explain. As the summer unfolds, the truth behind Gatsby’s fortune and his obsession with Daisy Buchanan begins to surface, revealing a love story twisted by time, hope, and devastating illusions.

With each chapter, the façade of glamour cracks wider. Loyalties shift, lies tighten around the characters, and the glittering world of wealth begins to show its hollowness. Gatsby’s pursuit of his shining dream becomes both heroic and heartbreaking — a reminder of how far someone can go for love, and how deeply a dream can wound.

The Great Gatsby showcases F. Scott Fitzgerald’s brilliance for capturing the beauty and tragedy of the Jazz Age — delivering a haunting tale of longing, ambition, and the peril of believing that the past can be reclaimed.
