The Great Gatsby
by F. Scott Fitzgerald
Book Synopsis
"The Great Gatsby, published in 1925, is set in New York City and Long Island during the Prohibition era. F. Scott Fitzgerald associated this moment in American history – the Jazz Age – with materialism ("I want things! Lots of things!") and immorality. Materialism and immortality were the name of the game for many of the newly wealthy of the post-World War I era. The novel's star is Jay Gatsby, a young, rich man in love with a society girl from his past. A girl who, as it happens, is married to someone else.
