The Great Gatsby is a famous novel of the Jazz Age and, perhaps, the most significant work of F.S. Fitzgerald.

Written in the 1920s, this novel is understandable and interesting to the modern reader, who recognizes himself in its characters. After all, at all times one must choose between fame, fortune, and love.

Today, The Great Gatsby is required reading in high schools and university literature courses in many English-speaking countries.

F. Scott Fitzgerald's brilliant novel The Great Gatsby was first adapted for the screen in Hollywood in 1926; in 2013, a new film adaptation was released starring Leonardo DiCaprio.
