The Great Gatsby - Reader's Library Classic

There are only the pursued, the pursuing, the busy and the tired.

Extravagant rumors abound of a man named Jay Gatsby who has newly arrived to the coastline of a section of Long Island known colloquially as West Egg. Long into the night, the mysterious Gatsby threw lavish parties at his sprawling estate, but when alone, Gatsby could be found staring longingly at a solitary green light across the dark water. For all Gatsby has attained in his life, that green light represents all that he lost.

The greatest story to encapsulate the roaring twenties, The Great Gatsby follows the eventful lives of the denizens from East and West Egg in this timeless classic of American literature.

One of my all-time favorites. Love the symbolism and prose! Love the contrast between the glamorous and shimmering lifestyle, and the deep sadness of the characters.
