The masterpiece of the twentieth century, the authentic new edition
With a new introduction by Jesmyn Ward, author of the Women's Prize-shortlisted Sing, Unburied, Sing
“There was music from my neighbor’s house on summer nights. In his blue gardens, men and girls came and went like moths among the whisperings and the champagne and the stars.”
Mysterious, captivating, and fantastically rich, Jay Gatsby throws many parties at his mansion in West Egg to impress Daisy Buchanan, the object of his obsession, who is now married to the imposing Tom Buchanan. During a summer on Long Island, his neighbor Nick Carraway, a writer and cousin of Daisy, watches as Gatsby and Daisy's relationship deepens. Tragedy lurks in F. Scott Fitzgerald's masterpiece, his third novel, often cited among the best novels of the twentieth century.
