Scott Fitzgerald was first published in 1925. Set in the Jazz Age on Long Island New York it tells the story of Jay Gatsby a wealthy mysterious and complex man driven by an obsession with his past and Daisy Buchanan a married woman he loved in his youth. Considered one of the greatest novels ever written it explores the themes of love loss and the American Dream. <i>The Great Gatsby</i> has been adapted numerous times for film most recently in 2013 starring Leonardo DiCaprio as Jay Gatsby. Despite its commentary on a different time period in American history the story is particularly relevant today--contrasting the glamorous lives of the wealthy with the realities beneath the surface and revealing the fallacy of the American Dream.
