THE GREAT GATSBY
(PENGUIN CLASSICS DELUXE EDITION)
FITZGERALD, F. SCOTT
A must-have new edition of one of the great American novelsand one of Americas most popularfeaturing a new introduction by Min Jin Lee, the New York Times bestselling author of Pachinko, and a striking new cover that brings the quintessential novel of the Roaring Twenties into the 2020s
A Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition
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 seems never to end, hes often alone in the glittering Jazz Age crowd, watching and waiting, as speculation swirls around himthat 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.
