1. 1. The Great Gatsby By F. Scott Fitzgerald

   

   A Midwesterner moves to Long Island's North Shore and becomes entangled with his mysterious, immensely wealthy neighbor, whose extravagant parties mask a desperate longing to rekindle a past romance with a married woman. As the narrator observes their affair and the social rivalries of old-money society, illusions of love and the promise of self-made success collide with recklessness, betrayal, and moral decay. The story examines the hollowness of the American Dream and the corrosive effects of wealth and obsession, culminating in tragic consequences.
