The Great Gatsby
F. Scott Fitzgerald
When Nick Carraway leaves the Midwest for Long Island, he finds himself between the glittering privilege of East Egg and the restless ambition of West Egg. Across the water, his cousin Daisy Buchanan and her imposing husband, Tom, inhabit a world of dazzling houses, old money, and carefully concealed troubles.
Next door to Nick stands Jay Gatsby, whose lavish parties draw crowds—and whose past fuels a thousand rumors. As summer begins, Nick glimpses the man behind the spectacle and a distant green light across the bay, where longing and possibility seem to converge.
