THE GREAT GATSBY
The Roaring Twenties, also known as the Jazz Age, marked a transformative period in American history. Emerging from the aftermath of World War I and leading into the Great Depression, this era embraced cultural and social change fervently. Unprecedented economic prosperity, coupled with innovation and rebellion, defined the time. Flapper fashion, jazz music, and a sense of modernity reshaped societal norms. F. Scott Fitzgerald's iconic novel "The Great Gatsby" captured the essence of the era, exploring themes of wealth, aspiration, and the elusive pursuit of the American Dream. The Great Gatsby era remains a captivating chapter in history, reflecting both the exuberance and complexities of a society undergoing rapid transformation.
