<br />Generally considered to be F. Scott Fitzgerald&#39;s finest novel, The Great Gatsby is a consummate summary of the &quot;roaring twenties&quot;, and a devastating expose of the &quot;Jazz Age&quot;. Through the narration of Nick Carraway, the reader is taken into the superficially glittering world of the mansions which lined the Long Island shore in the 1920s, to encounter Nick&#39;s cousin Daisy, her brash but wealthy husband Tom Buchanan, Jay Gatsby and the mystery that surrounds him.
