Older and wearier after serving in World War I, Nick Carraway likes to think he reserves judgement on people wherever possible - until events in post-war New York challenge his optimism forever. Drawn in to the glittering Jazz Age upper class, Nick finds himself entangled in a complex relationship between old friends he no longer knows, and new acquaintances that tug at his heart. But beneath this world of glamorous excess, tragedy beckons, threatening even Nick's rose-tinted glasses. A wistful masterpiece of nostalgia for a way of life that never was and-despite all society's claims to the contrary-never can be, The Great Gatsby is the ultimate elegy for the elusive American Dream.
