Description

This deluxe hardback pocket edition presents one of the most celebrated American novels of all time, The Great Gatsby, with silver gilded page edges and foil-stamping.

Jay Gatsby is a mystery to Nick. On the surface, he is a man of wealth and excess—throwing wild, extravagant parties that run deep into the night. But cracks begin to show in this façade as we meet Daisy Buchanan, the lady across the lake who is the object of his quiet obsession.

A paragon of the Great American Novel, The Great Gatsby is a tragic love story which perfectly captures the hollow decadence of the Jazz Age. This beautiful hardback edition makes a wonderful collectable or gift for any lovers of classic literature.

About the Author

Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald (1896-1940) was a novelist and short story writer, celebrated worldwide for his touching and tragic portrayals of the American Jazz Age. His fiction drew heavily on his own life, particularly on his passionate but turbulent marriage to beautiful Zelda Saure, dubbed 'the first American Flapper'. After receiving only moderate critical success in his lifetime, Fitzgerald is now heralded as one of the greatest writers in American history.
