Synopsis:

“Can’t repeat the past? Why, of course you can!”

Jay Gatsby is famous for his lavish parties, his immaculate mansion, and his mysteriously amassed fortune. Everyone knows him – yet no one knows him. Compelled by devotion to his former lover, Daisy, Gatsby will stop at nothing to “repeat the past” and win her back. But at what cost?

The exemplary novel of the Jazz Age, The Great Gatsby (1925) is a novel of lyrical beauty and ruthless reality. This classic tale of hope and disillusionment encapsulates the spirit and excitement of the age in which it was written. Gatsby is a luminary; his dream unattainable; his story a myth.
