It is a 1925 novel written by American author, F. Scott Fitzgerald that follows a cast of characters living in the fictional towns of West Egg and East Egg on prosperous Long Island in the summer of 1922. The story primarily concerns the young and mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby, and his quixotic passion and obsession with the beautiful former debutante Daisy Buchanan. Considered to be Fitzgerald`s magnum opus, The Great Gatsby explores themes of decadence, idealism, resistance to change, social upheaval, and excess. Today, The Great Gatsby is widely considered to be a literary classic and a contender for the title "Great American Novel". In 1998, the Modern Library editorial board voted it the 20th century`s best American novel and second best English-language novel of the same.
