Categories: Fiction Books Contemporary Fiction Classic Books & Novels Romance Romance Books The Great Gatsby 3.93 (4,646,380 ratings by Goodreads) Paperback English By (author) F. Scott Fitzgerald One of the great American novels--and one of Americas most popular--featuring a new introduction by Min Jin Lee, the New York Times bestselling author of Pachinko, and extensive resources to enhance discussion of it in classrooms Young, handsome, and fabulously rich, Jay Gatsby seems to have everything. But at his mansion east of New York City, in West Egg, Long Island, where the party never seems to end, hes often alone in the glittering Jazz Age crowd, watching and waiting, as speculation swirls around him--that hes a bootlegger, that he was a German spy during the war, that he even killed a man. As writer Nick Carraway is drawn into this decadent orbit, he begins to see beneath the shimmering surface of the enigmatic Gatsby, for whom one thing will always be out of reach: Nicks cousin, the married Daisy Buchanan, whose house is visible from Gatsbys 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 edition, based on scholarship dating back to the novels first publication in 1925, restores Fitzgeralds masterpiece to the original American classic he envisioned, and features an introduction addressing how gender, race, class, and sexuality complicate the pursuit of the American Dream and suggestions of a wide variety of multimedia resources for exploring the novels themes.
