Synopsis "The Great Gatsby (Deluxe Illustrated Edition)"

*Deluxe Illustrated Edition* *Includes 19 full-color illustrations* "Leaves the reader in a mood of chastened wonder . . . A revelation of life . . . A work of art." --Los Angeles Times Set during the Roaring Twenties, this masterful story by F. Scott Fitzgerald is told through the eyes of Nick Carraway, a young man who moves to Long Island and attempts to learn the bond business in New York City after the war. There, he co-mingles on Long Island with his affluent and wealthy socialite cousin Daisy Buchanan, her brute of a husband Tom, and friend Jordan Baker. Nick's new residence sits across the bay from Daisy and Tom's house, and right next to a mysterious mansion. He begins to hear rumors of an infamous man named Gatsby who resides there. Eventually, when Gatsby learns of Nick's ties to Daisy, he extends Nick an invitation to one of his lavish parties. Gatsby's plan to court Daisy, in an attempt to revive a previous love affair, eventually bubbles to the surface and tragedy ensues. Dubbed the Great American Novel more than any other piece of literature to date, The Great Gatsby is sure to captivate readers with it's exquisitely crafted prose and poignant message about trying to relive the past.

Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald (Saint Paul, Minnesota, 24 de septiembre de 1896-Hollywood, California, 21 de diciembre de 1940) fue un militar, anfitrión, novelista y escritor estadounidense, ampliamente conocido como uno de los mejores autores del siglo xx, cuyos trabajos son paradigmáticos de la era del jazz. Fitzgerald es considerado miembro de la Generación Perdida de los años veinte.

Escribió cinco novelas: El gran Gatsby, Suave es la noche, A este lado del paraíso, Hermosos y malditos y El último magnate, que, aunque sin terminar, fue publicada tras su muerte. Escribió también múltiples historias cortas, muchas de las cuales tratan sobre la juventud y las promesas, la edad y la desesperación.
