Description
For the centennial of its publication, a new edition of one of the most iconic of American novels, including four of F. Scott Fitzgerald's short stories about wealth and class from his collection All the Sad Young Men and an introduction by Min Jin Lee, the New York Times bestselling author of Pachinko.
One of The Atlantic's Great American Novels of the Past 100 Years.
A Penguin Classic.
Young, handsome, and fabulously rich, Jay Gatsby seems to have everything. But at his mansion east of New York City, where the party never seems to end, one thing will always be out of reachβthe married Daisy Buchanan, whose house is visible from Gatsby's just across the bay. A brilliant evocation of the Roaring Twenties and a satire of a postwar America obsessed with wealth and status, The Great Gatsby is a novel whose power remains undiminished after a century.
This centennial edition, based on scholarship dating back to the novel's first publication in 1925, restores Fitzgerald's masterpiece to the original American classic he envisioned, and includes an introduction addressing how gender, race, class, and sexuality complicate the pursuit of the American Dream; four beloved stories from Fitzgerald's 1926 collection, All the Sad Young Menβ"Winter Dreams," "The Rich Boy," "The Sensible Thing," and "Absolution"; and suggestions of a wide variety of multimedia resources for exploring the novel's themes.

About the Author
F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940) was born in St. Paul, Minnesota, and went to Princeton University, which he left in 1917 to join the army. He is said to have epitomized the Jazz Age, which he himself defined as "grown up to find all Gods dead, all wars fought, all faiths in man shaken." In 1920 he married Zelda Sayre; their traumatic marriage and her subsequent breakdowns became the leading influence on his writing. Among his publications were five novels, This Side of Paradise, The Beautiful and Damned, The Great Gatsby, Tender Is the Night, and The Last Tycoon; six volumes of short stories; and The Crack-Up, a selection of autobiographical pieces. Min Jin Lee (introduction) is the author of the New York Times bestselling novel Pachinko-a finalist for the National Book Award and one of The New York Times' 100 Best Books of the 21st Century-andof the nationally bestselling novel Free Food for Millionaires.She has received the Fitzgerald Prize for Literary Excellence, the Manhae Grand Prize for Literature from South Korea, and fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation and the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard, and has been inducted into the New York Foundation for the Arts Hall of Fame and the New York State Writers Hall of Fame. She lives in New York City. Philip McGowan (editor, notes) is an executive board member of the F. Scott Fitzgerald Society, the president of the European Association for American Studies, a professor of American literature at Queen's University Belfast, and a co-editor of The Routledge Companion to F. Scott Fitzgerald. Jennifer Buehler (suggestions for further exploration) is an associate professor of educational studies at Saint Louis University and a past president of the Assembly on Literature for Adolescents of the National Council of Teachers of English.
