The Great Gatsby
Overview & Summary
Nick Carraway moves next door to the mysterious, fabulously wealthy Jay Gatsby, who throws extravagant parties in Long Island in hopes of winning back Daisy Buchanan, the married woman he has loved -- and idealized -- for years. As Gatsby's carefully constructed persona and past come apart, F. Scott Fitzgerald's 1925 novel exposes the hollowness and moral corruption beneath the glittering surface of Jazz Age wealth, and it is now widely regarded as one of the greatest American novels.
