Description
A new hardback edition of Fitzgerald's brilliant and most famous novel.
The Great Gatsby is the tale of Jay Gatsby, a man who seemingly has everything, yet one thing remains forever beyond his grasp. His glittering parties are the talk of the town, attended by everyone who is anyone. Day and night, his Long Island mansion buzzes with bright young things indulging in drinking, dancing, and debating his mysterious character.
For Gatsby—young, handsome, and 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 hides a secret—a silent longing that can never be fulfilled. Soon, this destructive obsession will force his world to unravel.

The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald is widely lauded as a quintessential piece of American literature. Critics praise its rich symbolism, evocative settings, and sharp critique of the American Dream. The novel's tragic and complex characters, particularly Jay Gatsby and Daisy Buchanan, continue to captivate and provoke thoughtful reflection on themes of love, desire, and societal values.
