🎇 Wealth. Obsession. Tragedy. Welcome to the Jazz Age. Set in the dazzling excess of 1920s Long Island, The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald is one of the most celebrated novels in American literature. At the heart of the story is the mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby, a man driven by an undying passion for the beautiful Daisy Buchanan—and haunted by a past he cannot reclaim.
