The Great Gatsby

The Great Gatsby, rightfully considered Francis Scott Fitzgerald’s masterpiece, is a superb depiction of the Jazz Age and a profound commentary on the American Dream. With dramatic power, Fitzgerald examines the decay of idealism, innocence and moral value in the decade following World War One and creates a figure of mythic stature in his portrait of Jay Gatsby.

The poetic beauty of its style gives this novel its classic quality.
