A deluxe trade paperback edition of The Great Gatsby, a true classic of
20th-century literature and one of America’s best-loved and iconic novels.
This edition of The Great Gatsby has been updated by F. Scott 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 an introduction by two-time
National Book Award winner Jesmyn Ward. Featuring the iconic original cover
art and French flaps, this is a must-have for all Gatsby fans. The Great
Gatsby, 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.
