The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald is a timeless American classic that captures the glamour, excess, and disillusionment of the Roaring Twenties. Set in the summer of 1922, the novel follows the mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby and his obsessive pursuit of Daisy Buchanan-a love lost to time and circumstance. Narrated by Nick Carraway, a Yale graduate and Gatsby's neighbor in West Egg, Long Island, the story unfolds as a poignant meditation on wealth, ambition, and the elusive nature of the American Dream.

The Great Gatsby remains a powerful exploration of identity, longing, and the cost of chasing an ideal that may never have truly existed.
