The Great Gatsby

Description

By F. Scott Fitzgerald

Nick Carraway rents a small house on Long Island next door to a mansion where a man nobody can account for throws enormous parties every weekend.

Jay Gatsby made his money recently and by means he will not discuss, and he bought that particular house because the green light across the water belongs to the dock of a woman he loved five years ago and intends to have again. A short novel about money, class and the American habit of believing the past can be repeated.

First published 1925
