Peter's Path
F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby follows mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby through the eyes of his neighbour, Nick Carraway, during the roaring summer of 1922 on Long Island. Gatsby throws lavish parties hoping to win back his lost love, Daisy Buchanan, now married to the brutal Tom.
The novel traces the collision of old money, new money, and impossible dreams in the Jazz Age. Beneath the champagne and jazz lies a devastating portrait of the American Dream’s corruption by wealth, class, and self-deception. At under 200 pages, it is one of the most perfectly crafted tragedies in American literature.
