The Great Gatsby.

          Personally, it is my favourite book and movie at all times, it is a story about a young World War 1 veteran who graduated from Yale and took a big leap from a novel narrator to bond salesman in New York during the city was at it prime. Nick Caraway, settling down after the war, he moved to the Long Island and lived in a village of West Egg, renting a very small house, right beside a lavish and majestic mansion of an unknown rich man.

 

          The timeline for this story was at 1920's  when Jazz music evolved, flapper culture, bootlegging and various criminal activity, which became the source of the wealth of a man none other than Jay Gatsby.
