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.
