One of The Atlantic’s Great American Novels of the Past 100 Years

This classic work encapsulating the decadence and excess of the 1920s “Jazz Age” follows the unassuming Nick Carraway on his search for the American Dream, which leads him to the doorstep of Jay Gatsby, an enigmatic millionaire known for both his lavish parties and his undying love for Nick's cousin, the married Daisy Buchanan. With a mixture of envy and dismay, Nick observes Gatsby and his flamboyant life in the Long Island town of West Egg, while Gatsby yearns for Daisy and all that shimmers across the Sound in East Egg. The result is a chronicle of the drama and deceit that swirl around the lives of the wealthy, which cemented Fitzgerals's reputation as the voice of his generation.

Praise for The Great Gatsby

"The Great Gatsby lays bare the empty, tragic heart of the self-made man. It's not only a page-turner and a heartbreaker, it's one of the most quintessentially American novels ever written."--TIME

"[Fitzgerald] was better than he knew, for in fact and in the literary sense he invented a generation."--New York Times

"One of the greatest works of American literature...a timeless evocation of the allure, corruption and carelessness of wealth." --The Times

"It is a marvellously suggestive novel... a parable of modern America, and by extension of modern life." --A. N. Wilson, Daily Telegraph

"The first and greatest modern novel, it has beautiful women, lavish parties, romance, betrayal and murder woven together in an intricately structured plot. A prescient comment on the dying days of a gilded age that is brilliant entertainment with a very eloquent insight." --Henry Sutton, Mirror
