Publisher's Synopsis
The Great Gatsby It's the Roaring '20s and New York City is the place to be. Everything can be purchased, everyone can be bought. But, can you make money erase your past? As more and more people lose themselves to the lure of money, ironically the only person who remains unaffected is Jay Gatsby, the enigmatic host of the most extravagant parties. Tender is the Night The Divers lead an idyllic life on the French Riviera in the late 1920s. Their parties are the talk of the town, and their romance is equally enticing: Dick Diver, a brilliant, charming clinical psychologist, is madly in love with Nicole, the bewitching, wealthy heiress who was once his patient. Behind the glamorous facade, though, trouble brews. Nicole's wealth goads Dick into a lifestyle not his own, and her growing strength highlights Dick's harrowing demise. This Side of Paradise Young Amory Blaine, who is convinced he has an exceptionally promising future, finishes boarding school and attends Princeton. At university, Amory is an indifferent student, preferring instead to fall in and out of love, and cheerfully immersing himself in a glitzy world of excessive drinking and casual liaisons.
