"The Great Gatsby" is more than a novel; it's a lyrical time capsule that plunges you into the roaring 1920s with all its opulence and despair. Fitzgerald's masterful portrayal of Gatsby's quest for love and the American Dream speaks to the timeless pursuit of happiness and the hollow promises of wealth. There's a reason it's become a cornerstone of American literature; it's a story that resonates with everyone who has ever yearned for something just out of reach.
