The Great Gatsby

F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby was first published in 1925, emerging from the post-World War I era of American excess. The novel was conceived as a critique of the American Dream, centered on the enigmatic millionaire Jay Gatsby and his obsession with the socialite Daisy Buchanan. While it initially saw modest commercial success during Fitzgerald’s lifetime, it eventually became a seminal work of 20th-century literature, celebrated for its lyrical prose and sharp observations of Jazz Age decadence.
