The Great Gatsby

The Great Gatsby is a 1925 novel by American writer F. Scott Fitzgerald. Set in the Jazz Age on Long Island, the novel depicts narrator Nick Carraway's interactions with mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby and Gatsby's obsession to reunite with his former lover, Daisy Buchanan. A youthful romance Fitzgerald had with socialite Ginevra King, and the riotous parties he attended on Long Island's North Shore in 1922 inspired the novel. Following a move to the French Riviera, he completed a rough draft in 1924. He submitted the draft to editor Maxwell Perkins, who persuaded Fitzgerald to revise the work over the following winter. After his revisions, Fitzgerald was satisfied with the text, but remained ambivalent about the book's title and considered several alternatives. The final title he desired was Under the Red, White, and Blue. Painter Francis Cugat's final cover design impressed Fitzgerald who incorporated a visual element from the art into the novel. After its publication by Scribner's in April 1925, The Great Gatsby received generally favorable reviews, although some literary critics believed it did not hold up to Fitzgerald's previous efforts and signaled the end of the author's literary achievements. Despite the warm critical reception, Gatsby was a commercial failure. The book sold fewer than 20,000 copies by October, and Fitzgerald's hopes of a monetary windfall from the novel were unrealized. When the author died in 1940, he believed himself to be a failure and his work forgotten. After his death, the novel faced a critical and scholarly re-examination amid World War II, and it soon became a core part of most American high school curricula and a focus of American popular culture. Numerous stage and film adaptations followed in the subsequent decades. Gatsby continues to attract popular and scholarly attention. The novel was most recently adapted to film in 2013 by director Baz Luhrmann, while contemporary scholars emphasize the novel's treatment of social class, inherited wealth compared to those who are self-made, race, environmentalism, and its cynical attitude towards the American dream. As with other works by Fitzgerald, criticisms include allegations of antisemitism. The Great Gatsby is widely considered to be a literary masterwork and a contender for the title of the Great American Novel.

Classic Edition

The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald

F. Scott Fitzgerald created his own legends. The man frequently overshadows the work as he has become a clustered overlapping of archetypes: the drunken writer, the ruined novelist, the spoiled genius, the personification of the Jazz Age, the sacrificial victim of the Depression. The glamour, the triumph, the euphoria, the heartbreak, the tragedy of his life were genuine; but the most important thing is what he wrote. Nothing else matters. Not even the most superficial reader can fail to recognize F. Scott Fitzgerald's talent and genius. The ingenuity which marks his work is a necessity in American fiction both new and now. It is the blatant tone of levity which runs throughout his work that almost drowns out the perception of literary substance. But its overtones are unmistakeable. Fitzgerald is working out an idiom, and it is an idiom at once universal, American and individual.

"The man bending over her is her director." He took them ceremoniously from group to group: "Mrs. Buchanan... and Mr. Buchanan--" After an instant's hesitation he added: "the polo player." "Oh no," objected Tom quickly, "not me." But evidently the sound of it pleased Gatsby for Tom remained "the polo player" for the rest of the evening. "I've never met so many celebrities," Daisy exclaimed. "I liked that man--what was his name?--with the sort of blue nose." Gatsby identified him, adding that he was a small producer. "Well, I liked him anyhow." "I'd a little rather not be the polo player," said Tom pleasantly, "I'd rather look at all these famous people in--in oblivion." Daisy and Gatsby danced. I remember being surprised by his graceful, conservative foxtrot--I had never seen him dance before. Then they sauntered over to my house and sat on the steps for half an hour, while at her request I remained watchfully in the garden.
