The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald

'In his blue gardens men and girls came and went like moths among the whispering and the champagne and the stars'

The world and its mistress are at Jay Gatsby's party. But Gatsby stands apart from the crowd, isolated by a secret longing. In between sips of champagne his guests speculate about their mysterious host. Some say he's a bootlegger. Others swear he was a German spy during the war. They learn in and whisper, 'He killed a man once.' Just where is Gatsby from and what is the obsession that drives him?

Generally considered to be F. Scott Fitzgerald's finest novel, The Great Gatsy is a consummate summary of the 'roaring twenties' and a devastating expose of the 'Jazz Age'. Through the narration of Nick Carraway, the reader is taken into the superficially glittering world of the mansions which lines the Long Island shore of the American seaboard in the 1920s, to encounter Nick's cousin Daisy, Jay Gatsby and the dark mystery which surrounds him.

The Great Gatsy is an undisputed classic of American literature from the period following the First World War and is one of the great novels of the twentieth century.
