Description

Jay Gatsby is a self-made man, famed for his decadent champagne-drenched parties. Despite being surrounded by Long Island's bright and beautiful, Gatsby longs only for Daisy Buchanan. In shimmering prose, Fitzgerald shows Gatsby pursue his dream to its tragic conclusion. THE GREAT GATSBY is an elegiac and exquisite portrait of the American Dream.

Reviews

Written almost 100 years ago, this is a sharply-observed and clearly written novel, as relevant today as it must have always been. * TELEGRAPH & ARGUS *

Author Bio

Born in 1896, Fitzgerald was considered a member of the 'Lost Generation', along with Steinbeck, T.S. Eliot and Waldo Peirce. His novels epitomize the Jazz Age - a term he coined himself - and The Great Gatsby is often considered as 'the great American novel'.
