About this book

In the United States, the Roaring Twenties were a time of excess for the wealthy. Jazz, money, power, corruption… nothing was ever enough for those who already had everything. In The Great Gatsby, Nick Carraway tries to understand this new world, although he’s not familiar with it. He meets Jay Gatsby, a man who made his way into the upper class and is now known to throw the most extravagant parties in Long Island. In truth, Gatsby only wants one thing: to be reunited with Daisy Buchanan, a woman he used to know when he was younger, but who’s now married to Tom Buchanan. This tragic American novel follows Nick, as he takes us among the greatest pretenders of the upper class. It also depicts the failure of the American Dream and the danger that comes with power. So, if you’re ready to dive into the excessive frivolity of the 20s, meet Jay Gatsby who’s sure to surprise you!
