    The Great Gatsby

    A glittering mansion, a mysterious millionaire, and a love that haunts the edges of every champagne-soaked evening—The Great Gatsby is a lyrical elegy for the American Dream and the illusions we chase in its name. Through the eyes of a quiet outsider, we are drawn into the world of Jay Gatsby, a man who builds his fortune not for power or glory, but for a woman he lost long ago. Beneath the dazzle of Jazz Age opulence lies a tale of longing, betrayal, and the quiet ache of dreams deferred. Can one truly rewrite the past—or does the past rewrite us? Fitzgerald’s novel is both seduction and lament, a mirror held up to the heart’s most extravagant hopes.
