home to Jay Gatsby. Eventually  Nick becomes aware of Gatsby's intense interest in his cousin
Daisy Buchanan  and when Daisy's brutish husband  Tom  probes into Gatsby's background  he
uncovers unsavory truths about his rival's wealth . . . Literary history and meaning: The Great
Gatsby  by F. Scott Fitzgerald  was first published in 1925. Set in the Jazz Age on Long Island
New York  it tells the story of Jay Gatsby  a wealthy  mysterious  and complex man driven by an
obsession with his past  and Daisy Buchanan  a married woman he loved in his youth. Considered
one of the greatest novels ever written  it explores themes of love  loss  and the American
Dream. The Great Gatsby has been adapted numerous times for film  including the 1974 release
starring Robert Redford as Jay Gatsby. While the events of the novel take place during the
roaring twenties  the story's relevance today lies in the contrast between the façade the
wealthy can portray--on social media  for example--and the dark realities behind the scenes 
revealing the fallacy of the American Dream.
