Veľký Gatsby je najslávnejším románom F. S. Fitzgeralda. Dej príbehu je situovaný do 20. rokov 20. storočia, z obdobia prohibície a tzv. džezového veku v USA. Mladý zbohatlík James Gatz, prezývaný aj Veľký Gatsby, a krásna Daisy Buchananová prenikli do sfér lepšej spoločnosti každý po svojom a podobne sa vyrovnávajú aj s novým životným štýlom. Gatsby rozprávkovo zbohatne na ilegálnom obchode s alkoholom, do novej spoločností však nikdy nezapadne, lebo preňho majú ešte stále najvyššie hodnoty medziľudské vzťahy.
