FITZGERALD F SCOTT THE CAMBRIDGE CENTENNIAL EDI...

The Great Gatsby is often called the great American novel. Emblematic of an entire era  F.
Scott Fitzgerald's classic tale of illicit desire  grand illusions  and lost dreams is rendered
in a lyrical prose that revives a vanished world of glittering parties and vibrant jazz  where
money and deceit walk hand in hand. Rich in humor  sharply observant of status and class  the
book tells the story of Jay Gatsby's efforts to keep his faith - in money  in love  in all the
promises of America - amid the chaos and conflict of life on Long Island's Gold Coast during
the Roaring Twenties. This centennial edition presents the established version of the text in a
collector's volume replete with social  cultural  and historical context  and numerous
illustrations. The authoritative introduction examines persistent myths about Fitzgerald  his
greatest work  and the age he embodies  while offering fresh ways of reading this iconic work.
