  The Great Gatsby is a dazzling portrayal of the American Dream—and its disillusionment—set during the roaring 1920s. Narrated by the reflective Nick Carraway, the novel centers around the mysterious and fabulously wealthy Jay Gatsby, who throws lavish parties in hopes of rekindling a lost romance with the beautiful Daisy Buchanan. Beneath the glamour and jazz-age extravagance, the story unfolds as a haunting critique of ambition, love, and the pursuit of happiness in a world driven by materialism.Fitzgerald's lyrical prose captures both the enchantment and emptiness of high society, making The Great Gatsby a profound and enduring classic. With its themes of longing, illusion, and social decay, the novel continues to resonate as a cautionary tale about the cost of chasing dreams in a world where reality rarely matches fantasy.
