Summary

In "The Dop Doctor," Richard Dehan intricately weaves a narrative that melds disparate elements of the human psyche with the allure of the unknown. Set within a backdrop of psychological intrigue, the novel explores the transformative power of drugs and heightened consciousness through its protagonist, who navigates the labyrinth of addiction and societal expectations. Dehan's stylistic approach is characterized by vivid imagery and a nuanced exploration of character, which allows readers to immerse themselves in the often tumultuous landscape of the mind—echoing the Modernist literary tradition while remaining accessible to a broad audience. Richard Dehan, born in England in 1870, was a prolific writer whose experiences in various cities and colonies informed his literary voice. His works reflect a penchant for examining social issues, such as class struggle and the complexities of human desire. Dehan's background, having lived through the cultural shifts of the early 20th century, undoubtedly shaped his perspectives on the pervasive effects of addiction, which he believes not only afflict the individual but also have far-reaching impacts on society at large. "The Dop Doctor" is a compelling read for those interested in the intersections of psychology, medicine, and morality. Dehan's profound insights and eloquent prose make this book not only a work of fiction but also a thoughtful commentary on the human condition. Readers seeking to engage with a narrative that challenges their perceptions and provokes deep reflection will find this novel an essential addition to their literary repertoire.

    The Great Gatsby is a 1925 novel by American writer F. Scott Fitzgerald. Set in the Jazz Age on Long Island, near New York City, the novel depicts first-person narrator Nick Carraway's interactions with Jay Gatsby, the mysterious millionaire with an obsession to reunite with his former lover, Daisy Buchanan. 
    The novel was inspired by a youthful romance Fitzgerald had with socialite Ginevra King, and the riotous parties he attended on Long Island's North Shore in 1922. Following a move to the French Riviera, Fitzgerald completed a rough draft of the novel in 1924. He submitted it to editor Maxwell Perkins, who persuaded Fitzgerald to revise the work over the following winter. After making revisions, Fitzgerald was satisfied with the text, but remained ambivalent about the book's title and considered several alternatives. Painter Francis Cugat's dust jacket art, named Celestial Eyes, greatly impressed Fitzgerald, and he incorporated its imagery into the novel. 
    Plot: 
    In spring 1922, Nick Carraway—a Yale alumnus from the Midwest and a World War I veteran—journeys to New York City to obtain employment as a bond salesman. He rents a bungalow in the Long Island village of West Egg, next to a luxurious estate inhabited by Jay Gatsby, an enigmatic multi-millionaire who hosts dazzling soirées yet does not partake in them...

    Author: Francis Scott Fitzgerald 
    Date of original publication: 1925 
    Narrated by Nick Donovan
