Description

'Can't repeat the past? ... Why of course you can!'

Often called 'the great American novel', F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby is a story of adulterous love, dreams, and betrayal among the super-rich in 1920s New York. The mysterious and wealthy Jay Gatsby throws extravagant parties while trying to reclaim a lost love. Capturing the excitement and glamour of the era Fitzgerald himself named 'the Jazz Age,' Fitzgerald's incandescent prose brings to life a shimmering world of hot jazz, flowing gin, and brute power, as Gatsby's dreams explode into tragedy. A biting satire of America's illusions about itself, this definitive chronicle of the 1920s is also a timeless exploration of the allure of our own ideals and romantic imagination—and what happens when we fail to live up to them.

This authoritative edition is fully annotated with an introduction from Sarah Churchwell, offering new interpretations and fresh ways of thinking about this much-loved masterpiece.
