  "So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."
  
  In the sweltering summer of 1922, young bondsman Nick Carraway moves to West Egg, Long Island, finding himself neighbor to the mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby. Gatsby is famous for his decadent, star-studded parties, yet he remains a man of shadows, driven by a singular, consuming purpose: to reclaim the love of the beautiful, ethereal Daisy Buchanan. As the jazz plays and the champagne flows, Fitzgerald unfolds a glittering tragedy of social climbing, infidelity, and the high cost of reinventing one's past.
  
  The Gilded Surface of the 1920s: Fitzgerald's prose captures the frantic energy of the Prohibition era—the "flapper" culture, the illegal speakeasies, and the soaring stock market. Yet beneath the sequins and the yellow Duesenbergs lies a biting critique of a society hollowed out by materialism. Through the eyes of the "within and without" narrator Nick Carraway, we witness the careless cruelty of the ultra-wealthy.
  
  Symbolism and the Soul: From the haunting "Eyes of Doctor T.J. Eckleburg" overlooking the Valley of Ashes to the iconic "Green Light" at the end of Daisy's dock, the novel is a masterclass in symbolism. It explores the impossibility of repeating the past and the tragic vulnerability of the romantic heart in a cynical world. The Great Gatsby remains the quintessential American novel, questioning if any amount of gold can truly buy a seat at the table of the elite.
  
  Step into the world of Gatsby. Purchase "The Great Gatsby" today and experience the most beautiful and brutal story of the 20th century.

  Richard Doddridge Blackmore was born on 7th June, 1825 at Longworth in Berkshire (now part of Oxfordshire), where his father, John Blackmore, was Curate-in-charge of the parish. His mother died a few months after his birth the victim of an outbreak of typhus. With this loss the family moved to Bushey, Hertfordshire, then on to their native Devon.  His elder brother Richard (by a year), however, was taken by his aunt to live near Oxford. His father married again in 1831, whereupon Richard returned to live with them.  With much of his childhood spent in the lush and pastoral "Doone Country" of Exmoor, and along the Badgworthy Water, Blackmore came to love the very countryside he immortalised in Lorna Doone.  In November 1853 he married his wife Lucy.  And the following year, 1854, his literary career began with a collection of Poems and for the next 15 years he would write in the winters and garden in the summers.  In 1860 with inherited money he built a house in Teddington just outside of London and established a market garden for the cultivation of fruit.  He loved horticulture but having little business experience could never really exploit it.  However with the publication of Lorna Doone in 1869 he was catapulted to fame.  And although he continued to write extensively nothing caught the public imagination quite like Lorna Doone.  RD Blackmore died at Teddington on 20th January, 1900 after a long and painful illness, and was buried next to his wife in Teddington cemetery.

  Orthodoxy (Unabridged)

  G.K. Chesterton

  This book is meant to be a companion to "Heretics," and to put the positive side in addition to the negative. Many critics complained of the book because it merely criticised current philosophies without offering any alternative philosophy. This book is an attempt to answer the challenge. It is the purpose of the writer to attempt an explanation, not of whether the Christian Faith can be believed, but of how he personally has come to believe it. The book is therefore arranged upon the positive principle of a riddle and its answer. It deals first with all the writer's own solitary and sincere speculations and then with the startling style in which they were all suddenly satisfied by the Christian Theology. The writer regards it as amounting to a convincing creed. But if it is not that it is at least a repeated and surprising coincidence.
