Obra-prima de F. Scott Fitzgerald, este clássico do século XX retrata a alta sociedade de Nova York na década de 1920, com sua riqueza sem precedentes, festas nababescas e o encanto das melindrosas ao som do jazz. O sol em ascensão desse universo cintilante e musical é o enigmático milionário Jay Gatsby, ao redor do qual orbitam três casais glamorosos e desencontrados, numa trama densa, repleta de intrigas, paixões e conflitos que precipitam o trágico eclipse. Recriação soberba de um dos períodos mais prósperos da história dos Estados Unidos, O grande Gatsby é uma crítica mordaz à insensibilidade e imoralidade revestidas de ouro da chamada Era do Jazz, e um dos melhores romances — talvez o melhor — já escritos nesse país.
