A fresh repackage of the "Great American Novel", F. Scott Fitzgerald's best-known work about love, the frailty of success, and darkness lurking amidst the brightness of the Jazz Age, featuring a new introduction by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and critic, Wesley Morris.

Nick Carraway is an aspiring writer; his cousin, Daisy, is married to the fabulously wealthy Tom Buchanan. Their neighbor, Jay Gatsby, throws extravagant and extraordinary parties in the exclusive and hallowed neighborhood of West Egg. The entanglements between these four characters forms the backbone of F. Scott Fitzgerald's greatest work--a novel that continues to haunt our understanding of wealth, entitlement, and the American Dream.

When it was first published in 1925, The Great Gatsby was heralded as "a curious book, a mystical, glamorous story of today" (The New York Times). In the past century, the story of Jay Gatsby and his love for the treacherous, effervescent Daisy Buchanan has become a staple in high school and college classrooms, a beloved favorite of readers everywhere as well as the #2 entry in the Modern Library's own list of "the 100 best novels ever written."
