There are jocuri eroticefew books that capture the pursuit of — and utter disenchantment with — the American Dream as well as F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby.
Written in 1925, The Great Gatsbyfollows Nick Carroway as he tells the tale of Jay Gatsby, a wealthy yet enigmatic man living on the Long Island Sound struggling to win back the love of his life Daisy. In an effort to reconnect with Daisy, Gatsby tries to infiltrate the exclusive world of New York's elite, forcing readers to ponder: is the American Dream still possible and for whom?
