Return to the turbulent Jazz Age and of Prohibition, the summer of 1922, as Nick Carraway relates the story of his cousin, the beautiful but married Daisy Buchanan and of her affair with her former lover, the mysterious Jay Gatsby. One of the greatest of American novels, it is a story of an age of excess and rebellion, of desires of the flesh and those of the dollar, all ending in tragedy. A genuinely great work told with passion and intensity.
