The Great Gatsby

An "historical romance" written in days gone by, sophisticated in a way modern "love tragedies" are lacking. The Great Gatsby by F Scott Fitzgerald is an example of classic fiction first published in 1925 in the United States. A true book of worth, a classic that lives on in an era of timeless distinction. Early books exude an excellence unlike any from modern times. You will not be dissatisfied with this work. A great American novel at its finest. A Glimpse Inside "She's lovely," said Daisy. "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. "In case there's a fire or a flood," she explained, "or any act of God." Synopsis The Great Gatsby is a 1925 novel by American writer F. Scott Fitzgerald. Set in the Jazz Age on Long Island, near New York City, the novel depicts first-person narrator Nick Carraway's interactions with mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby and Gatsby's obsession to reunite with his former lover, Daisy Buchanan. The novel was inspired by a youthful romance Fitzgerald had with socialite Ginevra King, and the riotous parties he attended on Long Island's North Shore in 1922. Following a move to the French Riviera, Fitzgerald completed a rough draft of the novel in 1924. He submitted it to editor Maxwell Perkins, who persuaded Fitzgerald to revise the work over the following winter. After making revisions, Fitzgerald was satisfied with the text, but remained ambivalent about the book's title and considered several alternatives. Painter Francis Cugat's cover art greatly impressed Fitzgerald, and he incorporated aspects of it into the novel. "A stunning reprint" from Wombrook Publishing.
