Publisher Description
First published in 1925, The Great Gatsby is F. Scott Fitzgerald's timeless masterpiece of ambition, love, illusion, and the pursuit of the American Dream. Through the eyes of narrator Nick Carraway, readers enter the glittering world of Jay Gatsby and the Jazz Age, where wealth, desire, and reinvention conceal profound loneliness and moral decay. This edition features more than 220 original annotations that illuminate Prohibition-era America, Jazz Age society, New York life, art and popular culture, literary influences, symbolism, and the historical and cultural world that shaped one of the defining novels of twentieth-century American literature.
