Description

HarperCollins is proud to present its range of best-loved, essential classics.
I believe that on the first night I went to Gatsbys house I was one of the few guests who had actually been invited. People
were not invited they went there.

Jay Gatsbys opulent Long Island mansion throngs with the bright young things of the Roaring Twenties. But Gatsby himself, young, handsome and mysteriously rich, never appears
to his guests. He stands apart from the crowd, yearning for something just out of reach Daisy Buchanan, lost years before to another man. One fateful summer, when the pair finally reunite, their actions set in motion a series of events that will unravel their lives, bringing tragedy to all who surround them.

Widely considered F. Scott Fitzgeralds masterpiece, The Great Gatsby is a tale of excess and obsession, and a work of classic
twentieth-century American literature.
