New York in the Roaring Twenties
The enigmatic Jay Gatsby seems to possess everything money can buy. Night after night, his fairy-tale estate on Long Island blazes with music, champagne, and the glittering crowd of the city’s elite. Yet Gatsby himself remains strangely apart—watching the decadent pageant with a single desire that outshines all his splendour: that Daisy, his great love, will one day walk through his door.
F. Scott Fitzgerald’s masterpiece of American literature opens a dazzling view onto the rich and their rituals—and exposes, beneath the glamour, the emptiness and drift of a life devoted to display. In this edition The Great Gatsby can be rediscovered in all its drama and tragedy, its elegance, and—no less—its sly, unsettling wit.
