Jazz Age tragedy reveals hollow American dream.

If you're drawn to narratives that weave a rich tapestry of social commentary with a touch of romance, "The Great Gatsby" is your next must-read. Fitzgerald's seminal work delves deep into the illusion of the American dream and the lavish, yet empty lives of 1920s high society. It's a timeless novel that resonates with those who understand that sometimes, the most dazzling lights cast the darkest shadows.

Description

An alternate cover edition for ISBN 9780141182636 can be found here, here, here and hereDay and night Jay Gatsby's mansion on West Egg buzzes with bright young things drinking, dancing and debating his mysterious character. For Gatsby - young, handsome, fabulously rich - always seems alone in the crowd, watching and waiting, although no one knows what for. Beneath the shimmering surface of his life he is hiding a secret longing that can never be fulfilled.In The Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald brilliantly captures both the disillusionment of post-war America and the moral failure of a society obsessed with wealth and status. But he does more than render the essence of a particular time and place, for in chronicling Gatsby's tragic pursuit of his dream, Fitzgerald re-creates the universal conflict between illusion and reality.
