The Great Gatsby

F. Scott Fitzgerald

The Great Gatsby is a classic novel written by F. Scott Fitzgerald, published in 1925. Set in the Jazz Age on Long Island, near New York City, the novel tells the tragic story of Jay Gatsby, a self-made millionaire, and his pursuit of Daisy Buchanan, a wealthy young woman whom he loved in his youth. The story is narrated by Nick Carraway, a Yale graduate and World War I veteran who rents a house next to Gatsby's mansion and becomes friends with him. 
The novel explores themes of decadence, idealism, resistance to change, social upheaval, and excess, creating a portrait of the Roaring Twenties that has been described as a cautionary tale regarding the American Dream. Gatsby's lavish parties, his mysterious past, and his unrelenting desire to rekindle his romance with Daisy are central elements of the story. The novel critically examines the American society of the time, revealing the disparity between the rich and the poor, and the moral decay hidden beneath the glittering surface of wealth and glamour.

Prelude

Katherine Mansfield

"Prelude" is a short story by Katherine Mansfield. It was first published by the Hogarth Press in July 1918, after Virginia Woolf encouraged her to finish the story. Mansfield had begun writing "Prelude" in the midst of a love affair she had in Paris in 1915. It was reprinted in Bliss and Other Stories (1920). The story was a compressed and subtler version of a longer work The Aloe, which was later published posthumously in full.
The story is based on the Beauchamps' move to Karori, a country suburb of Wellington, in 1893. Alpers says that some readers may not pick up the numerous hints that Linda is pregnant.
