One thing that is, perhaps, as important to ”@@AMAZONTEXT;0743273567;The Great Gatsby@@” as the story within the book itself is the timing of the publication of the book.

This was a glorious time in American history – a time when it seemed like war was over and money was endless.

This story is set in the New York City high-life society of the 1920s, and it is told by Nick Carraway – who was an outsider in this society. Carraway has come from the Midwest, but he ends up taking up lodging in a small house on the property of Jay Gatsby. Gatsby is a wealthy eccentric who is known all over New York City for the lavish parties he throws on the weekends. But even with all the guests coming through his home, no one knows much about Gatsby – they don’t know how he came across his money, or why he throws these parties. That is, no one knows these things until Gatsby befriends Nick Carraway, and his whole story is unveiled to Carraway and to the reader as well.
