The Great Gatsby and Selected Stories

Widely regarded as F. Scott Fitzgerald’s greatest achievement, The Great Gatsby is a dazzling account of the “roaring twenties” and a masterly exposure of the dark side of the Jazz Age. The story is told from the perspective of Nick Carraway, a newcomer to Long Island, who is drawn into the dissolute lives of his wealthy neighbors and their world of greed, obsession and glamour. Hanging over proceedings is the mysterious Jay Gatsby, a self-made millionaire, who passionately pursues Nick’s cousin, the elusive Daisy Buchanan. The allure and decadent excess of the era is vividly brought to life in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic American novel. Also included in this new edition are eight of Fitzgerald’s finest short stories including Winter Dreams, The Ice Palace and Bernice Bobs Her Hair.
