Description
ONE OF THE GREAT MODERN AMERICAN NOVELS • F. Scott Fitzgerald’s enduring masterpiece of ambition, illusion, and desire, ranked among the Modern Library’s 100 Best Novels.
Jay Gatsby is a self-made millionaire who throws dazzling parties in West Egg, hoping to win back the love of Daisy Buchanan. Around him swirl wealth, excess, and restless dreams. Yet beneath the glitter of jazz and champagne lies emptiness—betrayal, corruption, and the impossibility of recapturing the past. Through the eyes of Nick Carraway, both participant and observer, Gatsby’s story becomes a portrait of longing and the fragile pursuit of happiness.
First published in 1925, F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby is more than a tale of lost love—it is a piercing exploration of identity, ambition, and the American Dream itself. Written in luminous, poetic prose, it captures the glamour and disillusionment of the Jazz Age with unmatched intensity. Generations of readers and writers have returned to its pages, drawn to its vision of beauty shadowed by despair. Few lines resonate as powerfully as Nick’s reflection: “So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.”
This Feel Classics edition makes Fitzgerald’s novel accessible for today’s readers. With a thoughtful introduction, explanatory notes, glossary, and a detailed chronology of his life, it is ideal for students, first-time readers, and literature enthusiasts alike.
A timeless, unforgettable classic that still speaks to anyone who has ever dreamed, desired, and discovered the cost of chasing illusions.
