PENGUIN CLASSICS DELUXE EDITION THE GREAT GAT...

A must-have new edition of one of the great American novels--and one of America's most
popular--featuring a new introduction by Min Jin Lee  the New York Times bestselling author of
Pachinko  and a striking new cover that brings the quintessential novel of the Roaring Twenties
into the 2020s A Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition Young  handsome  and fabulously rich  Jay
Gatsby seems to have everything. But at his mansion east of New York City  in West Egg  Long
Island  where the party never seems to end  he's often alone in the glittering Jazz Age crowd 
watching and waiting  as speculation swirls around him--that he's a bootlegger  that he was a
German spy during the war  that he even killed a man. As writer Nick Carraway is drawn into
this decadent orbit  he begins to see beneath the shimmering surface of the enigmatic Gatsby 
for whom one thing will always be out of reach: Nick's cousin  the married Daisy Buchanan 
whose house is visible from Gatsby's just across the bay. A brilliant evocation of the Roaring
Twenties and a satire of a postwar America obsessed with wealth and status  The Great Gatsby is
a novel whose power remains undiminished after a century. This edition  based on scholarship
dating back to the novel's first publication in 1925  restores Fitzgerald's masterpiece to the
original American classic he envisioned  and features an introduction addressing how gender 
race  class  and sexuality complicate the pursuit of the American Dream.
