Edition DescriptionSpecial
SynopsisThe exemplary novel of the Jazz Age, F. Scott Fitzgeralds' third book,The Great Gatsby(1925), stands as the supreme achievement of his career. T. S. Eliot read it three times and saw it as the "first step" American fiction had taken since Henry James; H. L. Mencken praised "the charm and beauty of the writing," as well as Fitzgerald's sharp social sense; and Thomas Wolfe hailed it as Fitzgerald's "best work" thus far. The story of the fabulously wealthy Jay Gatsby and his love for the beautiful Daisy Buchanan, of lavish parties on Long Island at a time when,The New York Timesremarked, "gin was the national drink and sex the national obsession," it is an exquisitely crafted tale of America in the 1920s that resonates with the power of myth. A novel of lyrical beauty yet brutal realism, of magic, romance, and mysticism,The Great Gatsbyis one of the great classics of twentieth-century literature.This is the definitive, textually accurate edition ofThe Great Gatsby,edited by Matthew J. Bruccoli and authorized by the estate of F. Scott Fitzgerald.

It isThe Great Gatsbyas Fitzgerald intended it., The only edition of the beloved classic that is authorized by Fitzgerald's family and from his lifelong publisher. This edition is the enduring original text, updated with the author's own revisions, a foreword by his granddaughter, and with a new introduction by National Book Award winner Jesmyn Ward. The Great Gatsby , F. Scott Fitzgerald's third book, stands as the supreme achievement of his career. First published by Scribner in 1925, this quintessential novel of the Jazz Age has been acclaimed by generations of readers.
