The rich and powerful Jay Gatsby appears to have it all but struggles with a deep secret—he has reinvented himself as a millionaire to impress his lost love, the married socialite Daisy Buchanan. Gatsby is certain that money can buy happiness, as well as Daisy’s heart. However, his obsessive pursuit of her affection has consequences that he never expected. Nick Carraway, Daisy’s cousin, tells Gatsby’s story after the turbulent events of the summer of 1922. Considered the Great American Novel by many, F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby is a portrait of the Roaring Twenties and a timeless exploration of American identity.
