Summary

First published in 1925, The Great Gatsby is widely considered a seminal work of American literature. Set in the post-World War I era, the novel is a captivating exploration of the Roaring Twenties, delving into themes of love, ambition, wealth, and the elusive pursuit of the American Dream.

With his intricate narrative and compelling characters, Fitzgerald crafts a profound commentary on the decadence and disillusionment of the Jazz Age, highlighting the stark contrast between the glamorous façade of the wealthy elite and the underlying complexities of human desires and motivations.

Jane Alexandra's narration of this novel provides a rich and nuanced exploration of the novel's themes, characters, and social backdrop, adding a layer of emotional depth and introspection that illuminates the complexities of human relationships and aspirations in the Jazz Age.

Enjoyable and engaging

Set in the 1920s, this is a fascinating story of social class, greed and love in New York society, and the pursuit of the American Dream.
