The Great American Novel of love and betrayal in the Jazz Age. ‘I
believe that on the first night I went to Gatsby’s house I was
one of the few guests who had actually been invited. People were
not invited – they went there’. Considered one of the all-time
great American works of fiction, Fitzgerald’s glorious yet
ultimately tragic social satire on the Jazz Age encapsulates the
exuberance, energy and decadence of an era. After the war, the
mysterious Jay Gatsby, a self-made millionaire pursues wealth,
riches and the lady he lost to another man with stoic
determination. He buys a mansion across from her house and throws
lavish parties to try and entice her. When Gatsby finally does
reunite with Daisy Buchanan, tragic events are set in motion. Told
through the eyes of his detached and omnipresent neighbour and
friend, Nick Carraway, Fitzgerald’s succinct and powerful prose
hints at the destruction and tragedy that awaits.
