Description
The Great Gatsby, known as the Great American Novel of love and betrayal set in the Jazz Age.
I believe that on the first night I went to Gatsby’s house I was one of the few guests who had actually been invited. People were not invited – they went there.
Considered one of the all-time great American works of fiction, F. Scott Fitzgerald's glorious yet ultimately tragic social satire on the Jazz Age encapsulates the exuberance, energy, and decadence of an era.
After the war, the mysterious Jay Gatsby, a self-made millionaire, pursues wealth, riches, and the lady he lost to another man with stoic determination. He buys a mansion across from her house and throws lavish parties to try and entice her. When Gatsby finally does reunite with Daisy Buchanan, tragic events are set in motion.
Told through the eyes of his detached and omnipresent neighbour and friend, Nick Carraway, Fitzgerald’s succinct and powerful prose hints at the destruction and tragedy that awaits.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
The Great Gatsby is lauded for its exploration of themes such as the American Dream, wealth, and social dynamics during the Jazz Age. Critics often praise Fitzgerald's elegant prose and complex character portrayals, particularly Jay Gatsby's enigmatic nature and the nuanced depiction of social stratification. However, some reviews note the book's initial lack of success, though it is now considered a classic of American literature.
