"The Great Gatsby is a novel by American author F. Scott Fitzgerald.
The book was first published in 1925, and it has been republished in
1945 and 1953. There are two settings for the novel. The first setting
is on Long Island's North Shore and the second major setting is in New York City. The book is set within the year 1922 from the spring to the autumn.
The Great Gatsby takes place during a prosperous time in American History. In 1922, America has fully recovered from the First World War, and is enjoying prosperity during the "roaring" 1920s. The economy soared and emotions ran high. Yet, at the same time, Prohibition, the ban on the sale and manufacture of alcohol as mandated by the Eighteenth Amendment, was gaining traction.
The ban on alcohol made millionaires out of bootleggers,
who were smuggling in the illegal substance. That scenario is the
backdrop for the novel, which contributed to its popularity. After the
novel was republished in 1945 and 1953, The Great Gatsby quickly found a wide readership. Today the book is widely regarded as the epitome of the Great American Novel, and a literary classic. The Modern Library named it the second best English-language novel of the 20th Century. " wikipedia
