  “Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us.” 
  Step into the glittering yet hollow world of the 1920s—a realm of champagne, jazz, and restless ambition. In The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald peers beyond the shimmer of the American Dream, revealing the illusions and disillusionment at its core. 
  The novel unfolds in the summer of 1922 through the eyes of Nick Carraway, a Yale graduate and World War I veteran who rents a modest home in West Egg, Long Island. His enigmatic neighbor, Jay Gatsby, is a self-made millionaire famed for extravagant parties but haunted by a singular obsession: to reclaim Daisy Buchanan, the woman he once loved. Daisy, trapped in wealth and a loveless marriage, becomes both the object of Gatsby’s dream and a symbol of its emptiness. 
  At its heart, The Great Gatsby is a meditation on illusion, identity, and the cost of desire. It is both a tragic love story and a sharp critique of the American Dream—its promises, its failures, and its corruption. 
  Written in the Jazz Age, Fitzgerald’s lyrical prose captures a generation intoxicated by success yet shadowed by disillusionment. A century later, the novel endures because it speaks to the dreamer in us all, chasing a light always just out of reach.

  Someone out there believes Nealon has a plan, a global blueprint for nothing less than a whole new beginning. But Nealon has other things on his mind. Returning home after the collapse of his trial he finds himself alone in a cold empty house. No heat or light, no sign of his wife or child anywhere. It seems the world has forgotten that he even existed.
  Barely in the door, Nealon's phone rings. The caller claims to know what's happened to Nealon's family. The man will tell him all that he needs to know in return for a conversation – that's all the caller wants, an exchange of views. It's an offer Nealon can't refuse.
  This Plague of Souls is at once a charged thriller of crime and absolution and a metaphysical enquiry into fractured society, fatherhood and the lengths a man might go to in order to save what he loves.
