Description
A brand new imprint from Penguin Classics
Jay Gatsby is the man who has everything. But one thing will always be out of his reach...
Everybody who is anybody is seen at his glittering parties. Day and night his Long Island mansion buzzes with bright young things drinking, dancing and debating his mysterious character. For Gatsby—young, handsome, fabulously rich—always seems alone in the crowd, watching and waiting, though no one knows what for.
Beneath the shimmering surface of his life, he is hiding a secret—a silent longing that can never be fulfilled. And soon this destructive obsession will force his world to unravel.

The Great Gatsby has been praised as an American masterpiece, with some reviews suggesting it represents F. Scott Fitzgerald's work in its intended and definitive form. The book is celebrated for its evocative prose and exploration of themes related to the American Dream, capturing the decadence of the Jazz Age and the complexities of love and aspiration.
