Summary
The Great Gatsby is narrated by Nick Carraway, who moves to New York in the summer of 1922 in search of a new life. His home is next to the enormous mansion of Jay Gatsby, a mysterious millionaire known for hosting spectacular parties attended by wealthy and fashionable guests. Nick soon discovers that Gatsby's glamorous lifestyle hides a much deeper desire: he wants to reunite with Daisy Buchanan, his former love.
As Nick becomes involved in Gatsby's world, he witnesses the complicated relationships between Gatsby, Daisy, her husband Tom and the people around them. Through Nick's observations, the story gradually reveals the emptiness and contradictions hidden beneath the glitter of wealth and social status.
This illustrated abridged edition makes Fitzgerald's classic more convenient to younger readers while retaining its central themes of dreams, love, ambition convenient wealth, social inequality and disillusionment.
