In The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald captures the flamboyance, the carelessness and the cruelty of the wealthy during America's Jazz Age.

The Great Gatsby lives mysteriously in a luxurious Long Island mansion, playing lavish host to hundreds of people. And yet no one seems to know him or how he became so rich. He is rumoured to be everything from a German spy to a war hero. People clamour for invitations to his wild parties. But Jay Gatsby doesn't heed them. He cares for one person alone - Daisy Buchanan, the woman he has waited for all his life. Little does he know that his infatuation will lead to tragedy and end in murder.

Parties and Passions, Mrs Dalloway and The Picture of Dorian Gray are also available in this Macmillan Collector's Library series of gorgeous paperbacks with bespoke covers and high-quality finishes which features the greatest parties and the wildest passions in literature.

The man who always looks so cool.

Emily V. - 3 years 2 months ago

The Great Gatsby is a classic story of love, popularity, mystery, heartbreak, and so much more. It is a timeless tale, told from the point of view of Nick Carraway, a Yale graduate and World War I veteran who moves to New York and acquires a job as a bond salesman. He centers his narration of the story around his mysterious neighbor named Jay Gatsby, and the extravagant parties he throws on the weekends. The story continues with Daisy and Tom Buchanan, Daisy being Nick's cousin, who live across town in a rich and high class area. Nick finds out that in the past Daisy and Gatsby had a relationship that was cut short due to the war, and there was still hidden sparks between them. This story won my heart over as I read it in high school, and it is a title that everyone should take a chance with at some point. It has many twists and turns, that makes you feel as if you are right there along with them. I give it two thumbs up and highly recommend it.
