When F. Scott Fitzgerald's famous novel "The Great Gatsby" was first published in 1925, its author received raving reviews from numerous fellow writers, but it was not until the post-war decades that his masterpiece received the worldwide recognition it deserved. Poignantly and with subtle finesse, Fitzgerald tells the story of the dazzling upstart Jay Gatsby, who celebrates lavish parties on his estate in order to win back his lost love - a story about the power of great feelings and the painful failure of a romantic dream. This edition presents the grandiose classic of American literature in a special hardcover edition with silver foil embossing.
