FITZGERALD F SCOTT THE GREAT GATSBY AND OTHER C...

No writer portrayed America's Jazz Age as vividly as F. Scott Fitzgerald. In his effervescent
tales of ingenues on the prowl for husbands  Ivy League heirs en route to futures of idle
entitlement  and endless alcohol-fueled dance parties at ritzy country clubs  he limned a
culture giddy with excess and as reckless as it was refined. Gifted with remarkable powers of
observation and a witty way with words  Fitzgerald wrote stories that seem as fresh and modern
today as they did when published a century ago.      This Great Gatsby and Other Classic Works
features Fitzgerald's first two published novels- This Side of Paradise  and  The Beautiful and
Damned -and 19 short stories  including the classics "Bernice Bobs Her Hair " "The Diamond as
Big as the Ritz " and "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button."     The volume also includes
Fitzgerald's landmark short novel The Great Gatsby. First published in 1925  this tale of the
enigmatic Jay Gatsby and his unrequited love for Daisy Buchanan has been read for decades as a
parable about the American Dream. It is regarded as one of the greatest American novels of the
twentieth century.     This Great Gatsby and Other Classic Works  is one of Barnes & Noble's
Collectible Editions classics. Each volume features authoritative texts by the world's greatest
authors in an exquisitely designed bonded-leather binding  with distinctive gilt edging and a
ribbon bookmark. Decorative  durable  and collectible  these books offer hours of pleasure to
readers young and old and are an indispensable cornerstone for every home library.
