Overview

A true classic of twentieth-century literature, this edition has been updated by Fitzgerald scholar James L.W. West III to include the author's final revisions and features a note on the composition and text, a personal foreword by Fitzgerald's granddaughter, Eleanor Lanahan--and a new introduction by two-time National Book Award winner Jesmyn Ward.

Nominated as one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read.

The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald's third book, stands as the supreme achievement of his career. First published in 1925, this quintessential novel of the Jazz Age has been acclaimed by generations of readers. The story of the mysteriously wealthy Jay Gatsby and his love for the beautiful Daisy Buchanan, of lavish parties on Long Island at a time when The New York Times noted "gin was the national drink and sex the national obsession," it is an exquisitely crafted tale of America in the 1920s.

  • The man who always looks so cool.

    Emily V. - 3 years 7 months ago

    The Great Gatsby is a classic story of love, popularity, mystery, heartbreak, and so much more. It is a timeless tale, told from the point of view of Nick Carraway, a Yale graduate and World War I veteran who moves to New York and acquires a job as a bond salesman. He centers his narration of the story around his mysterious neighbor named Jay Gatsby, and the extravagant parties he throws on the weekends. The story continues with Daisy and Tom Buchanan, Daisy being Nick's cousin, who live across town in a rich and high class area. Nick finds out that in the past Daisy and Gatsby had a relationship that was cut short due to the war, and there was still hidden sparks between them. This story won my heart over as I read it in high school, and it is a title that everyone should take a chance with at some point. It has many twists and turns, that makes you feel as if you are right there along with them. I give it two thumbs up and highly recommend it.

    Very exciting yet tragic love story about betrayal. A twist around every corner. Unable to put it down.
