“There are only the pursued, the pursuing, the busy and the tired...” One of the most famous novels in American history, “ The Great Gatsby ” is a story about self-made millionaire Jay Gatz and his pursuit for Daisy Buchanan. Setting amidst jazz age New York City where fortunes could change anytime with just one bad investment or good luck occurrence; this classic by F. Scott Fitzgerald tells us how it felt when all hope seems lost but still, there's always something worth fighting for - even if you don't know what that might be yet... The novel is told through the eyes and ears of Nick Carraway, a Yale graduate from back home in the Midwest. He moves to NYC after World War I where he tries his hand at being successful with bonds, never making any real connections until one summer evening changes everything forever... Sneak Peek: His heart beat faster as Daisy’s white face came up to his own. He knew that when he kissed this girl, and forever wed his unutterable visions to her perishable breath, his mind would never romp again like the mind of God. So he waited, listening for a moment longer to the tuning-fork that had been struck upon a star. Then he kissed her. At his lips’ touch she blossomed for him like a flower and the incarnation was complete. Through all he said, even through his appalling sentimentality, I was reminded of something—an elusive rhythm, a fragment of lost words, that I had heard somewhere a long time ago. For a moment a phrase tried to take shape in my mouth and my lips parted like a dumb man’s, as though there was more struggling upon them than a wisp of startled air. But they made no sound, and what I had almost remembered was uncommunicable forever.
