On April 10, 1925, F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel “The Great Gatsby” was published in the United States. The book explored themes of wealth, ambition, love, and disillusionment in the Jazz Age. Initial sales were modest, and it did not immediately achieve the fame it has today. Over time, critics reassessed the novel as a defining portrait of 1920s America. It became a staple in schools and a touchstone for discussions of the American Dream. Today, it is considered one of the most important works in American literature.
