Gatsby? asked Daisy urgently. What Gatsby? Could it be the same young army lieutenant whom Daisy Fay met five years ago - and who owns a sumptuous house on Long Island, where New York society enjoys the best parties on offer? Is it just coincidence that Gatsby lives across the bay from Daisy - now married to wealthy polo-player Tom Buchanan? As one man´s mysterious dream moves towards its ultimately tragic conclusion, Midwesterner Nick Carraway is drawn into the dark world of Gatsby´s past and present - a world of hidden frustrations and superficial relationships which perfectly illustrates the ´´careless and confused´´ nature of America´s Jazz Age. Scott Fitzgerald´s third novel was published in 1925 and has justifiably become a 20th century literary classic.
