What It’s About

In the summer of 1922, Nick Carraway, a young man from the Midwest, moves to Long Island to work in the bond business. He rents a small house next door to the mansion of Jay Gatsby, a mysterious millionaire famous for his lavish parties. Across the bay lives Nick’s cousin Daisy Buchanan with her wealthy husband Tom, and Nick soon learns that Gatsby has never forgotten her. F. Scott Fitzgerald’s short, lyrical novel captures the glamour, excess and restlessness of the Jazz Age…

Chapters 1–30:14

“It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.”

The novel opens on its famous ironic line. News that wealthy Mr. Bingley has taken Netherfield sends Mrs. Bennet into raptures about marrying off one of her five daughters.

The first line. Still the best opening in English.
