    The Great Gatsby Book Summary
    2025/05/21

    INTRODUCTION

    F. Scott Fitzgerald's masterpiece The Great Gatsby (1925) is the quintessential tale of

    the American dream: the heights a man may reach, the past he can discard, the joy he

    may (or may not) find, and the tragedy that living the dream may bring him. The novel is

    set in what Fitzgerald called the "Jazz Age," a period bridging the 1920s and 1930s, and

    emphasizes the life of pleasure and decadence after the tragedy and horror of World

    War I. Gatsby's American dream is essentially the "rags-to-riches" story about

    overcoming poverty and creating a life of pure luxury and indulgence; Fitzgerald's

    American dream is a dangerous, romantic myth.
