About the book
Love, money, revenge and betrayal - this is the Jazz Age novel that became the great American classic.
The world and his mistress are at Jay Gatsby’s party. But Gatsby stands apart from the crowd, isolated by a secret longing. In between sips of champagne his guests speculate about their mysterious host. Some say he’s a bootlegger. Others swear he was a German spy during the war. They lean in and whisper ‘he killed a man once’. Just where is Gatsby from and what is the obsession that drives him?
‘Shimmers with a magic that readers have long recognised…Fitzgerald was so far ahead of his time that we are only just catching up with him’ Sarah Churchwell, Guardian
‘Not just one of the greatest works of American literature, but a timeless evocation of the allure, corruption and carelessness of wealth’ The Times
