Description

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. An exquisitely crafted tale of America in the 1920s, it recounts the haunting story of the mysteriously wealthy Jay Gatsby and his obsession with the beautiful Daisy Buchanan at a time when, as the New York Times observed, "gin was the national drink and sex the national obsession." The book explores themes of wealth, decadence, idealism, social upheaval, and resistance to change. It is widely considered to be a literary masterwork and a contender for the title of the Great American Novel.

Author Biography:

Born in 1896 in St Paul, Minnesota, F. Scott Fitzgerald epitomized the Jazz Age, which he described as "a generation grown up to find all gods dead, all wars fought, all faiths in man shaken." His traumatic marriage to Zelda Sayre and her subsequent breakdowns became the major influence on his writing. Among his publications were five novels: This Side of Paradise, The Great Gatsby, The Beautiful and the Damned, Tender is the Night, and The Last Tycoon; six volumes of short stories; and The Crack-Up, a selection of autobiographical pieces. Fitzgerald died suddenly in 1940. After his death the New York Times said, "He was better than he knew, for in fact and in the literary sense he invented a 'generation.'"
