(Original, Unabridged Classic, Premium Hardbound Collector's Edition, Ideal for Gifting)
F. Scott Fitzgerald
"Let us learn to show our friendship for a man when he is alive and not after he is dead."
In the summer of 1922, on the shores of Long Island, the mysterious Jay Gatsby throws parties of legendary extravagance to which everyone comes and no one truly knows him. His neighbour Nick Carraway gradually uncovers the truth: Gatsby has reinvented himself entirely, accumulated his fortune by questionable means, and done all of it for one purpose — to recapture the love of Daisy Buchanan, the woman he lost before the war.
Published in 1925 and often called the Great American Novel, The Great Gatsby has sold more than 25 million copies and is one of the most taught and most discussed works of fiction in the world. Its portrait of the Jazz Age — its glamour, its cruelty, and its spectacular moral emptiness — feels as contemporary today as it did in the decade it depicted. The green light across the bay is among the most resonant images in all of literature.
This premium hardbound collector's edition with sprayed edges presents Fitzgerald's original, unabridged text — an essential work for any serious library.
